Good books, great price
Saturday, 06 September 2008
If you're a book lover looking for bargains, the Friends of the Library have a deal for you.

The organization, which provides supplemental support for the Howard County Library, will hold its annual book sale Sept. 19-21 in the basement of the library.

Hours are 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. the first two days and 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. on Sept. 21.

Although the organization supports the library throughout the year with various activities, the book sale is its biggest fundraiser.

Persons wishing to donate books or audio/visual items such as DVDs, books on tape or video tapes are requested to bring them to the library during regular business hours Monday through Friday. Members ask that no periodicals or condensed books be donated.

“We just want to assist the library any way we can,” said organization member Ruth Ann McKay. “We always have books and other items for sale, but this is our big push and the community always supports it very well.”

The Friends of the Library use funds from the sale to help fund programs such as the library's summer reading program, as well as to purchase items such as chairs, computer software and book drops.

McKay promises that book lovers will have a large selection of items to purchase at reasonable prices.

“There will be pretty nice books at pretty nice prices,” she said. “I always look forward to the sale because I can't always afford to buy a book I want when it first comes out ... Instead of paying $20 or $25 for books, you can get them for $4 or $5 or less.”

In addition to buying books or movies, persons attending the sale will be welcome to join the Friends of the Library. Applications are available at the library and annual dues are $5. Regular meetings are held at noon on the third Thursday of each month, McKay said.

For more information, contact the library at 264-2260.
