Big Spring Books Sale Sunday At The Library

May 1, 2016

Friends of the West Florida Public Library, a non-profit support organization of the West Florida Public Library, is holding its Big Spring Book Sale Sunday at the downtown Main Library, 239 N. Spring Street. Thousands of hardcover, paperback, and collectible books will be available for purchase, plus a variety of DVDs, CDs, puzzles, and other items. Proceeds are used to fund programs and enhancements at WFPL branches including Century and Molino.

Sunday  is the final day of the book sale with free admission and the popular $5 Bag Sale from noon to 3 p.m.  For just $5, shoppers can purchase as many books as will fit in a brown paper grocery bag. (Oversized bags from home are not permitted.)

Book sale items include thousands of generous donations from the public and some library books retired from circulation, many of them now out-of-print. Novels and mysteries are sorted by author or into genres like science fiction and westerns. Other book categories include arts and entertainment, children’s, cookbooks, history, holidays, home and hobbies, literature, foreign language, military, modern living, nature and gardening, religion, science, sports, technical, and travel. Most prices range from 50 cents for paperbacks to $2 for hardcover. There are also recorded books, magazines, and other media for sale.

The Collector’s Corner will feature an assortment of signed books, pre-1950s books, books by local and Florida authors, and other special books that are great for gifts. These items are priced as marked and must be checked out separately, so shoppers paying by check should bring at least two checks.

Payment by cash or check is preferred. Credit cards are accepted for sales of $20 or more.
