Library used book sale begins

We know you will find many great treasures at the Friends of the Library Annual Book Sale on from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. The Friends have been working tirelessly to prepare for this year’s sale and there will be something for everyone, including many interesting and unique items in our bid room. Proceeds from this sale will be used to purchase new materials for the library’s collection.

Thank you to everybody who donated items for the Friends book sale. The sale would not happen without your generosity. We would also like to thank Lake Superior Port Cities Publishing for donating several copies of its popular titles to our sale. Look for these items in the sale’s “local books” section.
