Friends Of The Library Big Spring Book Sale Is This Weekend
April 26, 2018
The annual Friends of the West Florida Public Library Spring Book Sale is this Friday through Sunday at the downtown Main Library, 239 North 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.
Friday is the Friends Advance Sale from 3-7 p.m. with first choice on the best selection of books. General admission is $5 at the door, and Friends of the Library members are admitted free. Memberships can be purchased at the door.
Saturday is the regular book sale from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. with free admission.
Sunday is the Bag Sale from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The Friends will provide a brown paper bag, and all the books that fit inside the bag are just $5. There is no limit on the number of bags that can be purchased.
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, but credit cards are welcome.

Oh no! Haven’t bought that new bookcase yet. Those of us with a serious addiction to books we can hold in our hands could spend a week in that library. So much fun!
