Friends of the Library Used Book Sale, April 28 – April 30
Ripon, WI – The Friends of the Ripon Public Library will hold its semi-annual used book sale from April 28 – April 30 in the basement of the library at 120 Jefferson Street. Thousands of books have been donated recently and those in the Last Chance Room are priced at 50 cents and as low as 10 cents for children’s books. Featured displays include fishing, humor, gardening, birds, biking and hiking, sweet treats, and grilling. Expanded Showroom sections include Civil War and WWII, Native Americans, and inspiration and spirituality. There is a wide variety of children’s books, including multi-cultural books, fantasy, and graphic novels. Several beautiful jigsaw puzzles are available for sale. Cash and checks will be accepted along with credit cards for purchases over $10. 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 a new color photocopier, the digital hoopla service, summer reading programs for all ages, monthly take and make kits, and more.

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.
