The Friends of the Plymouth Library will host the book sale of the summer.
Bookworms have reason to rejoice (and declutter their own shelves) this summer. A book sale, hosted by the Friends of the Plymouth Library (FOPL), is supplying an expansive selection of books, puzzles and more.
“I think people really like the thrill of the chase,” says Josh Velasquez, FOPL president. “There are lots of fun treasures to find at these sales.”
The book sale is stocked by a combination of donations and inventory that has been taken out of circulation by the Plymouth Library, which leads to plenty of diversity. “It’s basically the entire library’s worth of genres,” Velasquez says. There are also CDs and DVDs available.
Book donations are accepted throughout the year on the first Saturday of every month at the Plymouth Library. “Then on the Friday before each sale, we accept donations,” Velazquez says.
Pre-sale opens from 9–10 a.m. for FOPL members and Friends of the Hennepin County Library members. Velasquez notes that people can also sign up for membership at the door. Doors open to the general public at 10 a.m., followed by a $5 bag sale from 2–3 p.m.
“[The sales] keep getting better every time,” Velazquez says. “It’s really an exciting time to be part of this, and people seem to have a lot of fun with it.” Proceeds from the sale support the Plymouth Library.
All ages. 9 a.m.–3 p.m. July 12. Plymouth Library, 15700 36th Ave. N.; 612.543.5825; hclib.org
