JOHNSON CITY – The Friends of the Johnson City Public Library are holding a book sale on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 27, from 1-3 p.m. in the library’s Jones Meeting Center. The Sunday sale includes a special $5 per bag deal. Bags are provided at the sale for those who need them.

The sale features thousands of donated items. Friends Book Sale Committee Chair Kathy Hall said, “Our bi-annual book sale is a great place to find an unexpected treasure or just your next great read. We always have a huge variety of adult and children’s books, DVDs, CDs and even puzzles.”

Along with finding hidden treasures, the sale offers people a chance to support their local library. All proceeds from the sale go to furthering Johnson City Public Library’s work.

Paperbacks cost $1 and hardbacks cost $3; children’s picture books are 2 for $1 and children’s chapter books are $1 each. CDs are 4 for $1 and DVDs are $1 each. People can also purchase a library tote bag full of books for $25.

In addition to the public Saturday and Sunday sales, Friends of the Library members are invited to a preview sale on Friday, Oct. 25, from 5:30-7 p.m. Anyone can sign up to become a Friends member online at jcpl.org/friends or in person at the book sale.
