The annual Friends of the Greenbrier County Public Library Book Sale is coming up on Friday, Aug. 2 and Saturday. Aug. 3. Held in conjunction with the Lewisburg Literary Festival, the sale will feature around 10,000 volumes of used fiction and non-fiction that have been donated to the library. The Friends of the Library donate proceeds to support library programming and operations.
The sale opens at the library, located at 152 Robert W. McCormick Drive in downtown Lewisburg, at noon Friday, and runs until 6 p.m. On Saturday, the sale starts at 9 a.m. and closes at 2 p.m. On Friday, books will be priced at $2 for hardcovers and $1 for paperbacks. Saturday shoppers can buy books for $5 a bag. (The bags are supplied by the library.) The book sale accepts credit cards and checks, as well as cash.
In order to prepare for the sale, the library will not accept large donations of books until September. Small donations of one or two bags are still being accepted. Call the library at 304-647-7568 for additional information.
