Lynn explained: “We’re known for our well-organized sales, and have sorted thousands of books into more than 40 categories and alphabetized the fiction books by author. This year we would really like to thank the community and the collection sites: Acme Markets, Ellis Athletic Center, Beauty Gallery, and Storage King.”

There is plenty of free parking in the front and back of library. Boxes and bags will be available to carry your books home.
