After having their annual May Book Sale postponed, the Vernon Friends of the Library took a good look at the stacks of boxed books in their warehouse and decided to try an outdoor sale.
鈥淲e have over 800 boxes of sorted books in our warehouse,鈥� said Linda Wills, spokesperson for the non-profit society. 鈥淭hat means that we can offer a really good selection of books for summer reading.鈥�
Those looking for some new reads can check out the Saturday, June 20 sale from 10-3 in the parking lot at 9908 Kalamalka Rd. in Coldstream.
A selection of adult fiction, including mystery; children鈥檚 and junior books; and a selection of non-fiction including history, biography, cooking, and gardening will be available.
The cash-only sale will be weather permitting, but the forecast is good for Saturday. Usual COVID19 precautions will be in place and numbers will be restricted to 25 people at a time, with masks and gloves strongly suggested. Hand sanitizer will be available.
Proceeds of the Friends鈥� sales go to fund projects and activities that are beyond the library鈥檚 normal budget. For example, the society has funded plants, decorations for the children鈥檚 department, special shelving, and particularly, children鈥檚 and adult programming. Their biggest project so far will be providing funding for the new Inspiration Lab.
鈥淲e look forward to seeing our faithful patrons from previous sales,鈥� said Wills. 鈥淲e have readers that have been attending our sales for over 30 years!鈥�
