Check out what’s new at Friends of the Library Used Book Sale
[We have received the following press release and are pleased to publish it on behalf of the Oshkosh Public Library.]
Jan. 21, 2010 – Finding a good book at a bargain price is even more satisfying when the proceeds help to support reading and learning in the Oshkosh community. That’s what will happen when you shop the Friends of the Library Used Book Sale, Jan. 26, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., in the lower level of the Oshkosh Public Library.
First-time shoppers are surprised at the selection and even book sale “regulars” manage to find new treasures at each event. Browse through a large collection of mysteries and other fiction, biographies and paperbacks, children’s and young adult selections.
Beyond books, there are DVDs, music CDs and audio books. Adventuresome souls can try their luck with a bargain book bag – a bag full of assorted titles for only $1.
In the interest of going green, the Friends ask that shoppers bring a reusable bag to carry their purchases. Canvas tote bags also are available for purchase at the Friends Store at the library.
Mark your calendars for more 2010 sales: March 30; May 25; July 27; Sept. 28 and Nov. 30.
The Friends of the Oshkosh Public Library provide support for the library through volunteer service, fundraising, and advocacy. Proceeds from the book sales are used to support summer reading programs, Baby Book Bags for babies born in Oshkosh, events and other initiatives of the Oshkosh Public Library throughout the year.
The book sale is organized by Friends volunteers, who sort materials, get them ready for sale and staff the sales. For additional information about the book sale or to join the Friends of the Library, contact Dana Stolley, Coordinator of Volunteers, at 236-5206.
