The Silver City Friends of the Library (FOL) is holding its November Book Sale on Saturday, November 9, at the FOL Bookstore, 1510 Market Street, from 10:00am-2:00pm.
Hardback and trade paperback books are priced at $1.00 each and paperbacks at $0.50 each. In some cases, books may be priced higher. Weather permitting, clearance item 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. There is no limit on the number of bags a visitor can buy.
"Come start your holiday shopping with us," said Barbara Guber, FOL Bookstore manager. "A book is one of the most personal gifts you can give to someone close to you because it shows that you spent time thinking about what he or she is most interested in. The gift of a book, especially a used book, is a symbol of giving forward—it can be shared with friends and with generations to come."
"For the foodies on your list, we offer an interesting collection of books including cookbooks. Consider giving the gift of geography, selected from our excellent collection of atlases. Recent donations allowed us to add quite a few volumes about the Southwest to the shelves as well as to the fiction and classics sections. And, our offerings from the Great Courses are substantially expanded."
"Historical Fiction, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Young Adult, Horror, Mystery, Thriller, Classics, Literature and all the non-Fiction collections have been refreshed with new selections, thanks to this community's wonderful donors," Guber continued.
"Most of the children's books will be sold for $2 per bag in the parking lot," Guber noted. "Visitors can purchase as many bags as they want containing books of their choice. What a wonderful way to say "Happy Holidays!" to the children in your life."
This is the last FOL book sale of 2024. The next will be held on Saturday January 11, 2025.
The Friends of the Silver City Library invite the public to come and spend a crisp autumn morning and early afternoon, perusing and finding treasures among its vast collection of books and other media, all donated through the generosity of Grant County residents.
The Friends of the Library accepts donations of books from the public and uses these to raise funds to support the Silver City Library's programs and activities. Donations can be placed in the Friends of the Library donation bins outside the Silver City Library main door. These are located to the right of the Library's bin for returning Library books. For further information regarding donations in general or for arranging pickup for large donations, please contact
Mark your calendars for the 2025 Friends of the Library book sales on the 2nd Saturday of each odd numbered month. The next sale will be January 11, 2025.
