The Friends of the Ripon Public Library will hold its semi-annual used book sale from April 11 – April 13 in the basement of the library at 120 Jefferson Street.  Hundreds of books have recently been moved to the Last Chance Room and are priced at 25 and 50 cents, including a selection of large print books, while many audio books, CDs, DVDs, and trade paperbacks will be offered at steep discounts.  The Showroom contains a huge selection of newly arrived children’s, religious, craft, arts, gardening, and cook books.  A newly expanded Wisconsin section features books on local topics and by local authors. 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.

Friday, April 12: Book Sale open extended hours from 10:00 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.

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