at the door. Individual memberships ($5.00/year) allow 1 person
to enter; family memberships($10/year) allow the whole family
to enjoy the booksale. You must be present to hold a place

or other items.

Sunday is bargain bag day - open to the public. Doors
open from 11am until 3pm.
Book Sale: Prices
Book prices at the sales are as follows:
- Books cost $1.50 per inch.
- VHS tapes, cassette tapes and CDs cost $1 each.
- Audio books and DVDs cost $5 each.
- Special items are specially priced (not by the inch).
These items will have a price sticker on them.
- Bargain Day Sales: each paper grocery bag you fill
with books costs $5 per bag.
Donating Books to the Sale
Donations are always welcome. You can drop off gently-used
books and multimedia to the drop-off box in the library, to the
right of the Historical Room.
If you have a collection of intact paper grocery bags, these,
too, are most welcome.
