The Silver City Friends of the Library (FOL) is holding its November Book Sale on Saturday, November 10, from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m., 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. 

A spokesperson for the Friends of the Library said “Just in time for your holiday shopping, we have leather-bound, signed 1st edition classics and leather-bound vintage National Geographic Magazine collections. In addition, we have highly collectable Anime books--both individual editions and sets for Young Adults. Our Collectibles Section includes signed classics in pristine condition and numerous other collectible books from past decades. Also, throughout the Bookstore, visitors will find holiday-themed books, such as cookbooks, fiction and crafts. And weather permitting, there will be a special parking lot sale of books for children of all ages and books for homeschooling.”

Inside the Bookstore, Friends of the Library Volunteers have shelved thousands of books for sale. More than 40 popular authors are highlighted in a separate display in the Store, alongside shelves stocked with more than 30 different categories of fiction and non-fiction literature, some in languages other than English. The Bookstore offers separate sections for large print books and features a large section of books for education and home schooling. Language learning books cover German, French, Spanish, Welch, Czech, Finnish, Italian, and Japanese. CDs, DVDs, and vintage record albums as well as Audio Books are on the shelves.

Visitors to the Bookstore will find an entire room of books for children and youth of all ages. Look for Curiosities and Collectables where new surprises appear at each book sale.

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.

Mark your calendars for the 2019 Friends of the Library book sales on the 2nd Saturday of each odd numbered month, beginning January 12, 2019.

And remember, you don’t have to be a member of FOL to purchase any of our books.
