Winter BOOK SALE: Jan 23rd: Eager Library Mailbag: Friends of Library Write

PRESS RELEASE: from Friends of the Eager Public Library.

Release Date: Immediate.

Headline: Winter Used Book Sale at the Library.

After years of successful summer used-book sales on the lawn at the Eager Free Public Library in Evansville, the Friends of the Library are offering their first cold weather sale. It will be held in the library’s lower level meeting room on January 23rd, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The library is located at 37 W. Main St. in Evansville.

Buy gently used materials at very reasonable prices in all categories: adult fiction, non-fiction including travel, cookbooks, history, etc., children’s books, music CD’s, videotapes and DVD’s, quality used magazines about woodworking, health, history, and travel. Nothing is over $2, and most items are less than that. All items have been donated by Friends and other generous members of the Evansville community.

Being a member of the Friends has its privileges. A special PREVIEW sale, on Friday January 22nd from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., will be open only to Friends of the Eager Free Public Library. If you are not yet a Friend, you can join up at the door that day. Memberships range from $5 individual annually to a $100 lifetime membership. Memberships are tax-deductible.

Snacks and beverages will be available during sale hours.

If you wish to donate some of your books or other materials to the Friends for the sale, you can bring them to the library before January 20th. You can call the library to learn about donation guidelines. Donations may be made at any time of the year, but now would be a good time to look through your shelves for items you no longer need. Donations are also tax deductible.

The Friends are a group of dedicated volunteers devoted to enhancing the activities of the Eager Free Public Library for its patrons. Over the years, the Friends have purchased materials and collection display units, sponsored illustrated lectures, supported the children’s summer programs, the English as a Second Language program, and many other library activities. The Friends beautify the library grounds each year with plantings of annuals and perennials. Find more information about the Friends at: http://www.als.lib.wi.us/EFPL/Friends.htm
