Friends of the Library Used Book Sale, November 8 – November 10

 Ripon, WI – The Friends of the Ripon Public Library will be holding its semi-annual used book sale from November 8 – November 10 in the basement of the library at 120 Jefferson Street.  The Last Chance Room has been greatly expanded, with many large print books plus clearance prices on audio books and DVDs.  The Showroom contains a huge selection of like-new children’s books plus the sale has lots of holiday titles, in addition to its regular offerings.  Credit card payments will be accepted throughout the sale, in addition to cash and checks.  The mission of the Friends is to promote and support public resources and community programs at the Ripon Public Library, and proceeds from the sale are used to support this mission.  In the past year the Friends have assisted with funding the adult, teen and children’s summer reading programs, the Makerspace collection, Pinterest Craft Club, 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten, books on CD, and more.

Thursday, November 8: Early Bird Sale from 4:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Get a leg up on the competition by attending the Friends of the Library used book Early Bird Sale!  Free for Friends members to attend, $3 entrance fee for all others, the Early Bird Sale will let you browse and purchase any of the books available.  The sale will then be open free of charge on Friday and Saturday.

Friday, November 9: Book Sale open 10:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Open to anyone looking for a great deal on gently used books.  Come back tomorrow for even more deals!

Saturday, November 10: Book Sale open 10:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

The Friends of the Library semi-annual used book sale continues with a $3 grocery bag sale in the Last Chance Room – the Showroom is excluded from the bag sale.  This is your last chance to stock up until the next sale!  Because of the large volume of book donations received throughout the year, many of the books which don’t sell will be recycled after the sale and will not be here again.

For more information contact Desiree Bongers at 748-6160, or director@riponlibrary.org.
