The next Used Book Sale at the Lester Public Library is scheduled Thursday, April 21-Saturday, April 23.
Here’s the daily lineup:
Thursday–Books and music CDs are 50¢ each; audiobooks, DVDs, and magazine bundles are $1 each.
Friday–BOGO (buy one get one free)!
Saturday–Fill a bag! For $1, you get a paper sack to fill with all the items that will fit. For $2, you get a reusable book bag to fill.
The library’s book sale is a time-honored tradition that transcends the reuse and repurposing of used books; it contributes financially to the library. Over the years, the sale has provided fiscal support to special projects and material purchases. This year is no different; half the proceeds will again go directly to imminent projects and purchases. The Lester Public Library Foundation is the recipient of the other half of funds raised, which means that 50% of your purchase goes to the future of the library.
The Foundation oversees an endowment, and that endowment’s growth builds a lasting legacy to ensure learning, discovery, connection and enrichment for generations to come. When you buy items at the sale that you’ll enjoy reading, watching or listening to, you’re also contributing to the future of the Lester Public Library.
The Foundation accepts donations year-round. Choose the way that works best for you: write a check; donate online (via Network for Good at www.lesterlibrary.org/faq/); name the Foundation as the recipient of a bequest; name it as beneficiary of a 401K, IRA or life insurance policy; or donate stocks or bonds.
For more information on contributing, contact library director Jeff Dawson at (920) 793-7104. And we hope to see you at the book sale! Find it down near the fireplace during regular library hours (10 a.m.-8 p.m. Thursday; 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Friday; and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday).
