Friends of the Fairview Public Library book sale scheduled for Aug. 22-24

It’s back to the books for students and adults with the Friends of the Fairview Public Library Book Sale beginning August 22.  The twice annual sale is a tradition for many in the Fairview area and beyond.

“We continue to get donations through the year and we sort through the books after each sale, so the inventory is always fresh for repeat customers,” said Cheryl Hamilton, the President of the Friends of the Fairview Public Library.  “We have contemporary fiction, biographies, historical novels, cookbooks, children’s books and so much more, both hardback and paperback.” 

The book sales generate funds that are used to help meet needs and support programs at the Fairview Public Library. 

“We work closely with library staff.  It’s a true partnership,” Hamilton added. 

The Friends of the Fairview Public Library Book Sale opens at 9 a.m. on Thursday, August 22 at the Fairview Public Library, 2240 Fairview Boulevard.  The sale runs 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 24.

The Friends group first organized in Fairview in the 1980’s.  For more information about the sale or volunteer opportunities, email friendsoffairviewpubliclibrary@gmail.com or check out their Facebook page.
