Friends of the Silver City Library’s
January Book Sale

The Silver City Friends of the Library is holding its January Book Sale on Saturday, January 13, from 10:00am-2:00pm, at the FOL Bookstore, 1510 Market Street--in the big yard on Market Street across from Cheyenne Street, six blocks west of the Habitat for Humanity Restore yard.

Hardback and trade paperback books are priced at $1.00 each and paperbacks at $0.50 each. In some individual cases, books may be priced higher. Weather permitting, clearance items sales take place in the FOL parking lot where visitors can purchase a bag of books (special bags are provided in the parking lot) at $2.00 per bag.

“The Bookstore’s shelves are filled to capacity with quality books that offer intriguing and compelling reading,” Barbara Guber, FOL Bookstore Manager said. “The Friends of the Library Bookstore continues to receive donations of hundreds of books from the community. A large percentage of these are in excellent condition. We have such a large collection of books that it’s hard to describe them all. We invite everyone to come to the Bookstore, wander the stacks, and find the treasures that await them.”

Guber noted that CDs and DVDs are also on the shelves for sale.

Visitors to the Bookstore will find an entire room featuring books for children and youth of all ages, and a special display of rare 1st edition and collectible works.

Separate displays for over 50 individual authors are arranged throughout the Bookstore. These are in addition to displays of more than 30 different categories of fiction and non-fiction. The FOL Bookstore has separate sections for large print books, as well as a large section of books for education and home schooling.

The Friends of the Library accepts donations of books from the public and uses these donations to raise funds to support the Silver City Library’s programs and activities.

March, May, July, September, and November.
