Effingham Public Library Hosts Two-Day Book Sale 

The Suzette Brumleve Memorial Effingham Public Library will host a book sale Friday and Saturday, March 10 and 11. 

The sale is scheduled for 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Friday and 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM on 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. 

The Library’s Alvin Ealy has an interesting point of view on the book sale, “Just think about how cool those books are going to look on your book shelf when you get them home. Books, they look good on you!” 

The book sale also will feature a 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.
