Book sale has new and collectible volumes

If you are looking for just the right book for your personal enjoyment, or a unique gift for that certain someone, the ACPL Friends semi-annual book sale May 3 and 4 is for you. Serious sorting has been going on for weeks by Friends volunteers, assisted by Internet searches for prized vintage and collectible tomes. Careful research and pricing will allow buyers to find quarter-bound Kipling and Shakespeare volumes at 50 percent of the Internet price. Arranged in the back room, according to the Dewey Decimal System, browsers will find history, fine arts, nature and special interest books. For example, a complete dog book is only $6. Deadly Beautiful – the world’s most poisonous animals and plants – can be yours for $3.75.

In the non-fiction room, hundreds of counted cross-stitch pattern booklets are sorted into categories such as flowers, birds, nature, and even historical structures such as the Biltmore House. Seven shelves of biographies, plus self-help, diet and cook books, home schooling and some children’s books, are also available in there. If fiction is what you are looking for, unlike most book sales, the Friends have painstakingly sorted it alphabetically by author into categories so you can find your favorite writer, be it romance, mystery, adventure or western. Hard backs are $1 and paper-backs only $.50. In the up-priced section, Harry Potter and other recently published popular titles are just $2 to $5.

The spring book sale will be open to the public May 3 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 4, hours are 1-3 p.m. when you may fill a paper grocery sack with books for $3. Proceeds will benefit the library.
