Description

The Spring Book Sale continues this weekend! The Friends of the Tompkins County Public Library holds one of the country's largest charity book sales twice a year at our warehouse in Ithaca. It's a cherished Ithaca community tradition that also draws bibliophiles from all over the Northeast. All proceeds go to our local libraries and organizations supporting literacy. We've spent the past few days refilling our shelves, and still have over 200,000 books, magazines, puzzles, games, DVDs, blu-rays, CDs, records, maps, posters and other ephemera to sell at bargain prices. As always, our volunteers have spent thousands of hours categorizing and organizing our stock so that it's easy to find just what you're looking for. And thanks to the generosity of our donors, you'll find a vast selection and all sorts of wonderful and unusual treasures. Notably, we have 25,000 CDs, including the best selection of classical music we have ever offered. This sale will also feature our largest-ever selection of DVDs. ______________________________________ Hours and Prices: We'll be open May 14-16 and May 21-24, from 10:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. each day. [We'll also host a special "Senior Day" and "Student Night" on Wednesday, May 18. See our website at www.booksale.org for more information.] Prices on Saturday, May 14 will run $0.75 - $3.00 in the main warehouse, and will be reduced each day. The sale will end with "Dime Day" (everything on the main sales floor only 10 cents!) on Monday, May 23; followed by "Bag Day" (everything you can fit in a standard reusable grocery bag for $1!) on Tuesday, May 24. _______________________________________ Collector’s Corner: Our Collector's Corner room offers rarities, collectables and specialty items for a fraction of what you'd pay online or in an antiquarian shop. Collector’s Corner hours will be 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on sale days through Sunday, May 22. Our list of Collector’s Corner items is posted on the website here: _______________________________________ It's easy to find us: just look for our big blue warehouse at 509 Esty St., just off Route 13.
