Scheduled for March 21-23, the sale promises an extensive selection spanning multiple genres, including fiction, non-fiction, and children’s literature. Library Director Connie Dalrymple highlighted the event’s accessibility, with affordable pricing that makes reading more attainable for community members.
Budget-Friendly Pricing
Pricing for the sale is notably budget-friendly:
- Paperbacks – 50 cents
- Hardcover books – $1
- Children’s books – 25 cents
- DVDs and audiobooks – $1 each
This provides an economical option for multimedia enthusiasts as well.
Special Free Day Initiative
A standout feature of this year’s sale is the free day on Sunday, March 23, from 1 to 4 p.m., where visitors can collect books at no cost. This initiative aims to encourage reading and provide access to literature for all community members, regardless of economic background.
Supporting Library Services
The book sale serves a dual purpose: helping community members acquire affordable reading materials while generating crucial funds for the library’s operations. Most books are sourced through community donations and the library’s own collection, reflecting a collaborative approach to literary preservation and distribution.
