June gloom is upon us and for some can be depressing. A good antidote is to
lose yourself in an engrossing book. You’ll find a lot to choose from at the
Friends Used Book Sale. Turn the TV remote to OFF, and instead, turn the pages
of a book to discover real action thrillers, adventure stories, mysteries,
biographies, historical novels and more.
The Friends operate the best used book store in the San Gabriel Valley. All
proceeds support the library.
Friends of the Sierra Madre Library will hold its June Best Used Book Sale on
Friday, June 2, 3 to 7 p.m. and Saturday, June 3, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The sale
will be located at the Sierra Madre Public Library, 440 West Sierra Madre
Blvd., Sierra Madre in the lower parking lot and the adjacent basement.
Sale features are varied and interesting. Collectors will find old and
unusual sets of books: works of Jane Austin, six volumes; Ralph Waldo Emerson, six volumes; works of William Shakespeare, two volumes; The Story of Civilization, Will Durant, 10 volumes.
There is an extensive collection of children’s books and new selections of videos, books on tape and handsome coffee table books.
Outside tables will be filled with hardback fiction and nonfiction for only 50 cents, paperbacks and books for children and young adults. Browse inside and out to find your best summer escape.
Modestly priced books in excellent condition sell fast, so arrive early along
with family members. Know, too, that your purchases are for a good cause.
Proceeds from the sale benefit Sierra Madre Library programs for children and
adults, services and additions to the collection. Annually, the Friends
provide $50,000 for the Library operating budget helping to enhance the rich
quality and reputation for service enjoyed by our library.
Don’t miss the opportunity to shop the Best Used Book sale where quality and
prices are great, volunteers are cheerful and customers are fun.
