Friends of the Library's two day winter used book sale opens Friday, Jan. 27 at 9 am. The sale collection includes more than 20,000 books sorted by subject, a collection of local and special interest books, and hundreds of media titles sorted by format. Once again, Paducah's St Paul Lutheran Church Gym is the site of this annual fundraising event. The sale hours are Friday, Jan. 27, 9 am - 7 pm and Saturday, Jan. 28, 9 am - 1 pm.
Most of the hardback books and trade edition paperback books are offered at $1 each. Most of the other paperback books are sold for 50 cents each. The media materials are individually priced. The special interest and collector titles are offered at prices well below market value. Each book sale collection is new. At the close of each sale, the remaining materials are distributed to other organizations.
Saturday is "Bag Day." The remainder books are sold for $5 per grocery sack which is provided by the Friends. Cash, checks, and now credit cards are accepted for charges of $10 or more.
Proceeds from the Friends of the McCracken County Public Library's book sales are donated to the library to enhance the collections and services. Since the first summer book sale twenty-four years ago, the Friends of the Library have contributed more than $350,000 to the library.
