Like to read? Public Library Book Sale Now!
Posted on February 24, 2010
We had a rainy beginning this Wednesday, February 24, 2010 in Bellingham, WA, but the sun is now shining! ENJOY READING? Don't miss out on the opportunity to get 'nearly new' books and benefit the library, too!
'Friends' of the Bellingham Public Library are putting on a major book sale to benefit the Library. The support group raised about $80,000 for the Bellingham library last year through its internet, community and 'nearly new' sales.
Four major sales are held each year. The first this year will be February 24-27, beginning with the 1-6 p.m. preview sale today, Wednesday, Feb. 24th. Books are double the marked price. Books are regular price on Thursday, half-price Friday and $3 a bag on Saturday. With a 10 a.m. start those three days.
About 125 of the group's members volunteer to help at the sales. For each major sale, volunteers sort through more than 250 boxes of books acquired through donations from the public and ones culled from the library's collection.*
