davis_squareThe Friends of the Somerville Public Library will hold their Spring Used Book Sale on Friday May 17th 12-4 PM, Saturday May 18th 10-4 PM, and Sunday May 19th 1:30-3:30 PM. The sale will be held at the Central Library located at 79 Highland Avenue. (Preview evening for current Members of the Friends of the Somerville Public Library at the $50 level on Thursday May 16 from 5-8 pm.) The book sales are a major part of our fundraising - hope to see you! (Friends of the Library newsletter here)
This year’s collection of books for sale includes most categories, but is particularly strong in History, Biography, Arts, Foreign Language, lots of Audio-Video materials and there is always plenty of fiction. Simplified pricing structure too; everything $2, unless children's book then $1, plus premium selections at $5 tabled separately.
All proceeds from the book sale are used to support cultural and educational programs at the library including the popular museum pass program. Leftover books will be donated to local non-profit groups, and redistributed through Better World Books who collect and sell books online to donate books and fund literacy initiatives worldwide.
The Friends of the Somerville Public Library is a not-for-profit organization that helps the library and its branches to provide programs, services and materials not covered by the library's normal operating budget. If you would like to become a member of the Friends, or volunteer to help with the book sale, please contact the Friends by email at: FriendsSomervillePublicLibrary@gmail.com or follow us on FB at https://www.facebook.com/FriendsOfTheSomervillePublicLibrary
