Spring Book Sale on the Way

Library Expecting Quite the Crowd

The line outside during the Fall Book Sale. At about 7:50 in the morning, dozens were lined up raring to go for that first wave of used books.

Folks were tearing through quick to get their used books. By the end of the book sale, the library had generated $2,165.25 across the three days. That was hundreds of bags sold, and thousands of individual books.

March 26-28 will be the Friends of the White County Public Library’s “Spring Book Sale”. One of the biggest events the library puts on both in Spring and Fall, the parking lot is expected to be packed when the library opens its doors Thursday morning.

For just $5, visitors can fill up a single bag with however many books they can fit inside. The selection of used books ranges everywhere, from crime thrillers, sci-fi, history, and especially old westerns. There are a lot of old westerns.

While the first day will have the biggest selection, the cost per bag gets cheaper each day. On March 27 the cost will be $3 instead, and on the final day, only a single dollar. So, if somebody misses the first day, the selection might not be as extensive, but at least they get it cheaper.

The library is as excited as ever and hopes to see everyone at their Spring Used Book Sale.
