What’s available—all at bargain prices? Lots, Chairperson Ann Gruenewald said. “While we have been able to have only limited sales, the donations have been pouring in. We have an unusually large selection of Large Print books and children's books. Also, we have a large number of books on CD.” DVDs, CDs and board games are also on sale.

Note well: some pandemic limitations linger regarding library entrance as of July 28:

  • Since children under the age of 12 visit the library, facemasks are highly encouraged for all and especially those who are unvaccinated.
  • Please check rhpl.org for any entrance policy updates before the sale dates.
