Book Sales
By librarian | January 29, 2008
We had so many items that had either been donated to the library, or been removed from the collection, that we needed to have a Winter Clearance Sale! There were hundreds of books, magazines and videos for sale in our reference room. Suggested price was 50 cents for a hardback book or a video, 25 cents for a paperback, and 10 cents for a magazine. We had just added over 100 children’s items, some in excellent condition, to our sale items. There were exercise videos and some home school curriculum materials, as well. All monies received were donated to the Friends of the Linwood Community Library. This organization, in turn, supports our summer reading program every year. Many of you helped a child Catch the Reading Bug this summer by coming to our Saturday sale on February 2.
We had another sale on April 26, in conjunction with our Annual Plant Exchange. Over $100 was raised for the Friends of the Linwood Community Library! If you have books you would like to donate for the Friends’ sale on August 23, please call the library at 913-301-3686.
Donated magazines are offered on a continual basis in the library reference room. The cost per item is only 10 cents. This is a good place to look for recent issues, especially women’s magazines with good recipes!
