The Friends of the Bedford Library are holding a three day Spring Book Sale. The sale begins on Friday, March 22nd from 1:00-5:00 pm and continues Saturday the 23rd from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
On Sunday, March 24, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm there will be a bag sale of fiction and children’s books for $6/bag and a half-priced sale of select items.
Thanks to the huge quantity and quality of book donations, there will be thousands of books offered in three different rooms, all well organized. Books include fiction such as science fiction, romance, thrillers, poetry, plays and classics plus videos, DVDs and cds; children’s books; books for young adults; non-fiction books including art, cookbooks, foreign languages, business, history, science, textbooks, and much more.
Most children and adult books are fifty cents for paperbacks and $1.00 for hardcovers. Larger paperbacks are $1.00. Some collectibles and choice gift books are specially priced.
Proceeds from book sales help underwrite library programs and services, including lecture and film series, additions to the library collection and museum passes.
The Friends of the Bedford Free Public Library is a non-profit organization that sponsors library programs, augments library services and facilities, and supports requests for additional collection acquisitions through grant requests from the Library Director.
