Events and Activities : CP FRIENDS OF LIBRARY BOOK BARGAINS COME EARLY THIS YEAR

With excellent timing for snapping up bargain beach books and porch swing books and “Mom, I’m bored” books the annual Center Point Friends of the Library Used Book Sale starts Saturday, June 1.

At its May meeting Friends finalized the book sale hours: Saturday June 1, from 9 to 3; Monday and Tuesday June 3 and 4, during Library hours; (Library closed beginning Wednesday June 5) Thursday and Friday June 6 and 7 during the Pork Days celebration, from 4 to 8; and Saturday June 8, from 9 to 3, an all-you-can-carry for $5 sale.

The sale is in the Library basement and the bargain basement prices stay the same as previous years: 25 cents for paperbacks; 50 cents for hardcovers, audio books, and DVDs; 10 cents for VHS tapes; and a few items priced as marked. (The $5-all-you-can-carry sale on the last Saturday is really a $5-all-you-want sale and Friends will help you carry out your finds.)

The group will begin setting up for the sale on Wednesday May 29 at 9 a.m. The next Friends meeting will be Thursday, June 6, at 6:30 p.m. during the Used Book Sale.
