FOL holds book sale at library

 

The Friends of Oglethorpe County Library will host a book sale starting Oct. 17 and continuing through Nov. 5.

 

Instead of putting out hundreds of books for four days, the FOL  decided to have four tables full of books for three weeks. 

 

Prices are $1 for hardback and 25-50 cents for paperbacks. New books will be added every Monday and a $5 bag sale will be held every Saturday.  

 

The last three days of the sale — Nov. 3-5 — will also be $5 bag days.

 

The book sale will be open during regular library hours: from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday.

 

All proceeds benefit the library. Check out sale details on Facebook and at oglethorpefol.org.
