Friends of the Library Used Book Sale, November 12 – November 14

Ripon, WI – The Friends of the Ripon Public Library will hold its semi-annual used book sale from November 12 – November 14 in the basement of the library at 120 Jefferson Street.  Please note that properly worn face coverings are REQUIRED and the number of shoppers allowed in the sale rooms will be limited.  No children under the age of 8 allowed.  Thousands of books have been donated recently and those in the Last Chance Room are priced at 25 and 50 cents, including a selection of large print books.  Many audio books, CDs, DVDs, and trade paperbacks will be offered at steep discounts.  The Showroom contains many Christmas-themed books for adults and children as well as a large collection of classical, Christian, country and Christmas CDs and other musical genres.  Cash and checks will be accepted – no credit cards.  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, 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten, books on CD, and more.

Wednesday, November 11 and Thursday, November 12: Open by appointment

A limited number of appointments are available for any shopper who prefers to have a low contact book sale visit.  Maximum of four people scheduled per time slot.  Contact the library for information.

Thursday, November 12: 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!  The opening evening is always free for Friends of the Library members to attend, and for this sale the $3 entrance fee will be waived due to the pandemic though donations are appreciated.  The Early Bird Sale will let you browse and purchase any of the books available.  The sale will again be open free of charge on Friday and Saturday.

Friday, November 13: Book Sale open from 1:00 p.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 14: Book Sale open 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 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.
