The Friends announce that the October Best Used Book Sale will be held on Friday, October 4 (3:00-7:00 p.m.) and Saturday, October 5 (10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.). It will take place on the parking lot behind the temporary library at 350 W. Sierra Madre Blvd.
Featured in our “Table Books” section will be a large newer cookbook collection; look for books about vegan and gluten-free recipes as well as selections from TV chefs, such as Jamie Oliver and Christopher Kimball. As the weather turns cooler, we can start thinking about heartier cooking and eating and we have some inspirations to get you started! We also have a large collection of “Coffee Table” books about Art, History, and Contemporary Culture with beautiful photographs and drawings, nice enough for gifts. A large selection of Children’s and Teen books includes pop-ups and familiar characters like Curious George, Judy Moody, and Nancy Drew, also great for gifts.
Our “Bargain Book” section will have $1.00 books of every genre, fiction and non-fiction. More Children’s and Teen books are for sale from 25 cents – $1.00, and small paperbacks are 25 cents each or 5/$1.00. We have a large group of CDs and DVDs at $1.00 each (collections marked somewhat higher) and most Audio books are $3.00.
The $5.00 BAG SALE will take place all day SATURDAY on the parking lot. You may buy a large grocery bag for $5.00 from our friendly volunteers and choose any of our Bargain Books and/or media to fill it.
All proceeds from our sales benefit the programs, activities and acquisitions of our wonderful Sierra Madre Public Library. We look forward to seeing you at the Best Used Book Sale!
