Library sale offers 15,000 books

More than 15,000 books on almost any subject and a collection of long-playing records will be put on sale in a fund-raiser for the Friends of the Libraries Oct. 25-28.

The public sale helps fund an annual lecture series, library collections and a visiting scholar support program. In the past four years, nearly two dozen campus libraries received nearly $70,000 through a grant program supported by the sales.

The sale, open free to the public, will be in 112 Memorial Library. A preview sale ($5 admission) will be held 5-9 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 25. The regular sale will be 10:30 a.m.-7 p.m., Thursday and Friday, Oct. 26-27. On Saturday, Oct. 28, from 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m., bring your own grocery bag and fill it for $2. From 2-3 p.m. Saturday, everything is free.
