The leaves are falling; there’s a nip in the air. It’s a busy time of year: Halloween, Election Day, preparations for the upcoming holidays …. So what else marks the season? The Friends of theKent County Public Library hold their semi-annual Used Book Sale!
Drop by the library to browse through hundreds of books, fiction and non-fiction, everything from classics to popular mysteries to children’s books. You might just find that novel you’ve been meaning to read or discover a fabulous cookbook to inspire you to new culinary heights. Mad for boats or dogs or …? We got the book for you. In fact, it’s hard to think of an interest that’s not represented at the sale. Besides books, we also offer DVDs, games, music, and puzzles. Best of all, you’ll pay just a fraction of the original retail price on any item, so you’re sure to find some irresistible bargains.
Here are our hours:
• Thursday, November 6, 5:30 to 7:30
Thursday is the exclusive Preview Night for members of FOL. Members need only bring the
invitation they received in the mail for admittance. Non-members can join at the door for
$10 per person. Preview Night attendees will get first crack at the large, diverse selection of
sale items. To add to the festivities, beverages and light snacks will be served.
• Friday, November 7, 10:00 to 8:00
On Friday we extend our hours in honor of November’s First Friday. If you’re downtown,
why not take a stroll up High Street by the light of a full moon to visit the sale?
• Saturday, November 8, 10:00 to 3:00
Saturday might be a good day to bring the kids in to make their selections. There’s a lot to
choose from in the children and young adult sections.
• Sunday, November 9, 10:00 to 3:00
This fall Sunday marks the last day of the sale when everything must go. Bring a box, fit
as many books as you can into it, and pay a mere $5.00. The “specials,” our more upscale
merchandise, will be marked half off.
So give yourself a treat, or get a head start on holiday shopping. Join us at the Kent County Public Library, 408 High Street, Chestertown MD, 21620 to take advantage of the Friends’ fall sale. We accept cash and checks. Not only will you be delighted with your finds, every purchase you make benefits this wonderful local resource, our public library, by subsidizing the purchase of new books, underwriting needed upgrades, and supporting a variety of community outreach programs.
