First Saturday Book Sales

Sale events are postponed currently due to the public health situation. Each library location does have a limited collection of items for sale during all open hours. 

Monthly specials are listed on the Friends’ Facebook page. Generally, all varieties of books are represented, with CDs, audiobooks, DVDs and more on sale as those items become available. Select books and other materials may be purchased from designated bookcases at each library location during regular business hours. For more information, please ask at the checkout desk.
