Florence County Library Book Sale Date Announced

The annual Friends of the Florence County Library’s used book sale is on for the second Saturday in September.

“Due to the pandemic, this is the first book sale the Friends of the Library have had since 2019, and it is the first time the sale has been held in the fall,” said Aubrey B. Carroll, chief of Headquarters Library Services.

A wide variety of popular fiction, nonfiction, and children’s books will be available, along with assorted DVDs and CDs.

Most items will be priced from $1 to $2 or less, Carroll said.

There will also be new books on local history for sale at special prices.

“We know there’s a lot of interest in it; we appreciate the public’s support. It’s a great fundraising event for our friends, not to mention it gets some orphan books into the homes of some people who can enjoy them,” Carroll said. “It has been a tremendously helpful event as the money raised goes to the Friends who give it back to the library to support programs like children’s summer reading, the performers we get.”
