BOOK SALE August 24-26, 2011
The book sale you have been waiting for all year is just around the corner! The Friends of the Bay County Libraries' 37th Annual Book Sale will be held August 24-26, 2011 at the former Wenona School located at 313 S. Wenona on Bay City's west side (parking lot accessible on S. Dewitt).
This highly anticipated three day sale runs on Wednesday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm and on Thursday & Friday from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm.
Book lovers from Lansing, Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, the Thumb area and out-of-state are expected to shop the sale, which is one of the largest in Michigan. The 30,000+ items offered come from either the library's retired collection or from donations made by generous citizens. Items on sale will include former best sellers, general interest reading, children?s materials, reference sources, magazines, records, CD?s, books on tape, DVD?s, cassettes and more.
Prices will be unchanged from last year. On Wednesday hard covers will sell for $1.50 and paperbacks for $.75. On Thursday prices will drop to $1.00 hardcover and $0.50 paperback. Children's books will be $.50 each day. Most AV material will sell for $1.00 per item on Wednesday and $.50 on Thursday. And during the Friday clearance everything goes for $2.00 per box and $1.00 per plastic grocery bag.
All proceeds from the book sale are used by the Friends to buy equipment, materials and services for the public not made possible through the library system's operating budget. The Bay County Library System serves approximately 107,000 residents through four branch locations in Bay City, Pinconning and Auburn, and a Bookmobile.
Earnings from former book sales have supplied video players and funded such projects as children's reading programs, library publications, visits by children's authors, puppeteers, and community meeting room furniture.
