The Silver City Friends of the Library (FOL) is very pleased to announce that, weather permitting, it will hold a revamped Book Sale on Saturday, March 20, from 10:00am-2:00pm, in the Town of Silver City’s maintenance yard parking lot at 1510 Market Street across from Cheyenne Street.
There will be a normal parking lot sale located near the entrance to the lot. Prices will be $2 per FOL bag. Book sale visitors will be provided with bags that they can fill for $2.00 per bag. There is no limit on the number of bags that may be purchased.
At the upper end of the lot there will be tables set up for an “INSIDE Outside” sale. This will be genre labeled boxes of bookstore overstock and author shelf books.
President Jeannie Miller says, “We’re doing this because we’ve received so many Bookstore quality donations since our last inside book sale a year ago and because of social distancing and public health requirements we’ve been unable to open the bookstore to the public, so we decided to bring those ‘inside’ items to the ‘outside’ parking lot and offer them to our sale patrons at regular bookstore pricing $1 hardback, 50 cents paperback.”
“We want to thank the Town for giving us the go-ahead to have this outdoor sale and we’ll be following New Mexico’s Covid-19 regulations for mask wearing and social distancing in public places,” said Barbara Guber, FOL Bookstore Manager. Customer parking is available street-side only because of space issues in the parking lot. We’ll have FOL volunteers available to assist visitors in carrying their purchases to their cars.”
Funds from our book sales go to the Silver City Public Library to support its programs and activities which serve our whole community and enhance its quality of life.
Book donations can be placed in the Friends of the Library donation bins outside the Silver City Library main door. These are located to the right of the Library’s bin for returning library books. For further information regarding donations in general or for arranging pickup for large donations, please contact folsilvercitynm@gmail.com or call 575-538-4940.
And remember, you don’t have to be a member of FOL to purchase any of our books.
