Paperbacks cost $1 and hardbacks cost $3; children’s picture books are 2 for $1 and children's chapter books are $1 each. CDs are 4 for $1 and DVDs are $1 each. People can also purchase a library tote bag full of books for $25.
The sale includes a collection of first edition mystery and thriller books. All are in fine or very good condition with mylar covered book jackets, and many are signed by the author. These books are $6 each and do not qualify for the $25 tote bag or Sunday’s $5 per bag sales. These items will be in the library’s Polly Peterson Room.
The sales on Saturday and Sunday are open to the public, but Friends of the Library members are invited to a special preview sale on Friday, April 25 from 5:30-7 p.m. The mystery and thriller book sale in the Polly Peterson Room is open to Friends members from 5-6 p.m. that day.
