Effingham Public Library Hosts Two-Day Book Sale 

The Suzette Brumleve Memorial Effingham Public Library will host a book sale on Friday and Saturday, September 23 and 24. 

The sale is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday in the lower level of the library at 200 N. Third St. 

The book sale features new, lightly used and vintage books in a wide array of categories.  Some of these are fiction, history, mystery, cooking, Christian, large print, politics, military, biographies, nature, sports, travel, gardening, romance, sci-fi and self-improvement.  

Children’s books will be sold in a special area that allows easier access for strollers. 

Shoppers who have frequented previous sales will find that some genres/categories of books have been moved and some new categories created.  Some of these new categories include quilting, mind/brain expansion, fun facts/trivia, math and science, and Pioneer women. 

The book sale also will feature a huge selection of DVDs and CDs. 

No items will be sold prior to the book sale date.  Donations of good, slightly-used books are accepted at the library check-out desk during regular library hours.  Proceeds from the sale will go toward special projects at the library. 

If you have questions about the book sale, call the library at 217-342-2464, Ext. 1, or email info@effinghamlibrary.org.
