Used Book Sale

Saturday, November 13, 10am-3pm

​

Love gardening, plants, flowers, trees, and books? Then you won’t want to miss the Library’s sale of used horticulture books. Hundreds of gently read books will be available on a variety of plant and gardening-related topics. Sales raise funds for library programs and new purchases for the collection.
 
The health and safety of our community is our top priority. The sale will be held outdoors in the Library Courtyard and we request that all book sale guests wear a well-fitted mask.
