The Book Sale Committee is busy as a one-armed paper hanger as we prepare for the Grand Opening this spring of our used bookstore in the library. So much to do: signage, organizing books by topic, shelving, pricing. Many thanks to Courtney Kincaid, interim Library Director, and the library staff for working with us on this big project.

QUESTIONS:

WHERE: In the “old” library area off the meeting room on the Travis St. side of the library

HOURS: Three times a week, fours hours each time (TBA), including some evenings and Saturdays also.

WHAT: Great selections of current fiction, nonfiction and other media, bargain books, and a children’s section. We will have something for everyone.

FOL MEMBERS will get special discounts. ANNUAL BOOK SALES will continue; a benefit of FOL membership is early shopping privileges at these events.

Thanks to our Friends

Site Team — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 17:50:17 +0000

Thanks go out to our Friends’ Members and other shoppers for another great Semi-annual Fall Book Sake in October, 2010. Special thanks go to all the special Friends Volunteers who never fail to help us make each sale a big success. We all enjoy the sight of people browsing books to find just the right “reads” for the upcoming winter season.

Speaking of winter, we’re entering the Christmas shopping season! Our weekly Wagon Wednesday sales have resumed. Members and non-members alike can shop our “mini” book sale held in the Library foyer each Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Wagon Wednesday sales feature “like new” hard and soft cover books from popular fiction authors, non-fiction books, and children’s books as well as Music CDs, Video Tapes, DVDs, and Books on Tape.

Thanks also to those who took the Friends of the Library for Hood County Night flyer to Chili’s on October 25. As a result of your efforts, we’ll be getting a nice “give back” check from Chili’s soon.
