Have Yourself An Affordable Little Holiday

With the holiday season in full swing, people are looking for bargains for their friends and loved ones. Thank goodness for the Friends of the Lakewood Public Library and their annual Holiday $3 Bag of Books Sale on Saturday, December 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

This is the one Friends sale during the year where the majority of the books available are eligible for the $3 bag sale. The Friends’ collection of books includes travel, cooking, mystery, children’s, history, romance, science fiction, poetry and much more so you can find something for everyone on your shopping list. Simply fill up a bag with the books you want and it will only cost you $3.

If you are looking for newer titles you can head to the Better Books section. While these books are not a part of the $3 Bag sale, they are still a deal with prices starting only at $1. For those interested in getting a first crack at the books and a chance to get their shopping done before the sale on Saturday we have the Members Preview Sale on Thursday, December 5 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This special preview is not part of the $3 Bag sale and is only open to members of the Friends, but anyone can join at the door for as low as $2.

The Holiday fun at the Library doesn’t end Saturday at 5:00 p.m. with the book sale but will continue for the rest of the evening with a variety of Light Up Lakewood events hosted at the Library. Once you get your shopping done at the book sale, store your finds in your car and check out the parade and fireworks outside and be sure to come on back to the Library to warm up with the kids while making crafts and listening to holiday music. Your kids can even write their letters to Santa and visit with the big guy himself! For more information on the Friends of the Lakewood Public Library go to to www.lakewoodpubliclibrary.org/friends.
