Here is a great opportunity to buy some lightly-used books and support your library. The Friends of the Nashua Public Library will hold its Spring Book Sale on Saturday, April 12th from 9 am to 4 pm and Sunday, April 13th, from 1 pm to 4 pm. Most hardcover books are $2.00, and paperbacks are $.50 to $1.00.

A special Preview Sale for Friends members will occur on Friday, April 11th from 6 pm to 8:30 pm. Become a member of the Friends on Friday night to get first crack at the books.

The Friends will accept donations of books in good condition until Tuesday, April 1st. We do not accept textbooks, encyclopedias, magazines, or condensed books, however.

If you would like to volunteer to help with the Book Sale, please email Marjorie Morse at marjorie.morse@comcast.net.

Some of the ways the Friends have supported the library this year include: purchasing a new Blu-ray disc player to show films in the library’s theater; buying museum passes; supporting the Teen summer reading and Books-2-Babies programs; and funding translation of library forms into Spanish.

So, tell your friends to meet you at the Friends of the Nashua Public Library’s book sale.

The Friends of the Nashua Public Library are holding a special back-to-school book sale this weekend:

Friday, August 20, from 2 pm to 8:30 pm
Saturday, August 21, from 9 am to 4:30 pm

Both days are open to the public and all proceeds support the library.

The Friends received an unexpected truckload of books that they don’t have room to store, hence the extra sale this summer. The inventory includes lots of children’s books and science fiction as well as the usual fiction, romance, mystery, thrillers, nonfiction, etc.

Regular prices are:

Hardcovers: $2
Trade paperbacks: $1
Mass-market paperbacks: 50 cents
Children’s paperbacks: 4 for $1
Children’s hardcovers: $1

These are good prices to begin with, but teachers who bring a school ID can get 50 percent off most of their purchases. And keep an eye on the Telegraph this week for an ad with a coupon for a free mass market paperback.

Teachers and parents will be happy to hear that the children’s books are sorted by age for general books, and then into nonfiction, foreign language, religion, and a few other categories.

There are also many classic, science fiction, and history books for high school students.

If you have questions, call me (Carol) at 589-4610.

Hope to see you there!
