WE'RE HAVING A GREAT BIG BOOK SALE!

     Hear ye!  Hear ye!  All ye book-lovers!  (And there are a ton of you out there, I know!)
     We are having a great big book sale at our library the first weekend in May. 
     Did you hear what I said?
     Yes, indeedy!  A great big book sale!  Our Friends of the Library will be holding their annual book sale soon.  The sale funds will support library programs, books, and materials that the library always has a hard time funding, especially in this day and time when there have been so many cut-backs in library funds.
     But, I have to say, the best part of the sale is that the price you pay for items will just blow your mind away!   I can't say cheap, but I can say very reasonably priced.  In fact, really low-priced!
     For only 25 cents to $2.00, you will be able to purchase gently-used (also called pre-owned) hardback books, paperback books, movies (both DVD and VHS), and children's books.  There are also some lovely coffee-table books...the kind with lovely pictures.  We have mysteries, poetry, fiction, biographies, any genre' you would like.
     And for all of you who don't know about our Amazing Big Black Book Bag, which is waterproof canvas and has a good-size outside pocket, we will have those on sale also for only $5.00.
     So, you need to put these dates on your calendar and plan to be here and load up.

• Friday, May 3 - Friends' members-only sale from 4 to 6:30 p.m.  Then it's open to the public from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.  Memberships are open to anyone and available at the library during operating hours, as well as during the sale.
• Saturday, May 4 - 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Sunday, May 5 - 1 to 5 p.m.   A Bag Sale will be held from 4 to 5 p.m. for the remaining items for only $4.00 per bag.  Shoppers are to use the large grocery bags that will be provided by the Friends of the Library.

     All the wonderful volunteers that have helped pull together this sale are to be congratulated for their hard work.  Angie Patteson is the Book Sale Chairperson and she can certainly tell you who her helpers have been.
     We hope you'll join us on these sale days.  All books, even those that we feel we cannot keep, have great value.  They need to have a home.  Come and fill up a bag with wonderful reads.  Or two or three bags.  All books need a home.
     See you there!
