Spring Sale of Books and AV materials

Books galore at the Euclid Public Library Friends' Book Sale

After six months of sorting and a frantic day of set-up, the  Spring Book Sale, held by the Friends of the Euclid Public Library, will be on April 25th and 26th, with a preview night for members on the 24th. There will be one table of special books with higher prices. Aside from that, hardbound books are 50¢; paperbacks (including large ones) are 25¢. DVDs are $2.00; most other audio-visual media are $1.00 or less. Materials have been collected for half a year, and include both library cancels and donations.

The books are roughly sorted by broad library number categories. You might find a book on plumbing, gardening, business, cooking, animal care, child care, or health, all in the 600s (Technology), or something about movies, opera, crafts, or football in the 700s (Arts and Recreation). If history and travel is your thing, wander over to the 900s. Computers are in the 000s (General Works), along with journalism, Bigfoot, and flying saucers. And the 300s contain all the stuff about human society and how it works–from economics to politics to true crime.

There are also a lot of novels, mysteries, science fiction and fantasy.

Large print books and children’s/young adult books are in their own categories. Even if you’re an adult, check out the children’s books. Often, they have the most interesting information and the best pictures.

Euclid Public Library, 631 E. 222nd St., Euclid, OH 44123

Friday, April 24, 2015, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Members preview night. The library is closed, so there will be a line outside. Bring your card, ask to be looked up or you can join at the door for $5.00.

Saturday, April 25, 2015, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This is a good day to come; there are tons of books, and it’s not crowded.

Sunday, April 26th, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Bag Day. You buy a paper grocery bag for $3.00 and fill it up.

The library is easy to find. It’s on East 222nd Street, north of I-90/OH-2. Coming from the freeway, you turn right immediately after you see the Veterans’ Memorial, which includes a Vietnam-era tank.
