The Hermiston Public Library put out the call and the people answered.
After announcing that it may have to cancel the annual book sale due to a lack of volunteers, the library will hold the sale Oct. 9-11 after enough people stepped up to volunteer with the sale.
The Friends of the Hermiston Public Library sale, located downstairs in the Lanham Room, will be open on Thursday, Oct. 9 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. for a special member’s night-only sale. For people who want to get an early start shopping for some great book bargains but aren’t currently a Friends member, the answer is simple – join the Friends for as little as $10 at the door. Proceeds from the book sale are used to directly support the Hermiston Public Library.
The book sale will continue through the rest of the week with doors opening Friday, Oct. 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A wide variety of genres will be available including books on cooking, travel, history and more.
The final day of the sale is Saturday, Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. when books can be purchased for $1 a bag. For you bargain hunters this is the day you have been waiting for! Fill up those bags with as many books as will fit.
Anyone interested in becoming involved with the Friends of the Library can pick up a membership form any time they stop by the library. The Friends are dedicated to promoting libraries in general and specifically providing both financial and donated time to the library.
