The two-month collection process is over. Most of the sorting has been completed. For the Friends of the Canton Public Library, the focus is shifting toward what the hard work has been all about: raising money.
The Friends’ annual used book sale, held in the spacious all-purpose room of the library/community center at 40 Dyer Ave., is just over a week away. The two-day event, which benefits the Canton Public Library, begins at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11, with a 90-minute “preview sale.” Dealers and the public are welcome. Admission for this portion of the sale is $10.
Admission is free beginning at 10 a.m. that day, and the “regular sale” runs until 3 p.m. Prices on Sept. 11 are as follows: paperbacks (fiction): $1.00; “trade” paperbacks: $1.50; nonfiction paperbacks: $1.50; hardcovers (unless otherwise marked): $2.00; gift books: $4.00; “special priced” books: $5.00, $10.00 and $20 (as indicated by bookmark); CDs: $2.00; DVDs and books on CD: $3.00; cassette tapes: $1.00, or 3 for $2.00; sets: best offer.
