Wake Book Sale Returns: November 14-18, 2007

10/31/2007

Purchase great books at a great price, while helping Wake County's Library System, at the 2007 Wake County Library Book Sale. The annual library book sale will be held November 14-18, 2007, at 4121 New Bern Ave., Raleigh in the former Super Kmart. More than 500,000 books will be available for purchase.

Book Sale Hours:

• Wednesday, November 14, noon to 9 p.m
• Thursday, November 15, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Friday, November 16, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Saturday, November 17, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Sunday, November 18, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Book prices from Wednesday through Friday will be $4 per hardbound book and $1 per paperback. On Saturday the prices drop to $2 per hardbound/50 cents paperback. On Sunday, the library will provide bags and boxes for customers to pack at $2 per bag and $5 per box. Cash and checks will be accepted, and patrons are encouraged to bring hand trucks or book carts to use as they find great bargains.

The few books remaining after the sale will be shredded for recycling – nothing is taken to the landfill. All proceeds will return to the Wake County budget as library revenue.

UPDATE, 11/6/07: This year's book sale now has enough volunteers! Thank you for your support and interest, and please check back next year for more volunteer information!

Volunteers are still needed to make the event a success. Visit any Wake County Library branch to pickup a volunteer form or visit www.wakegov.com/libraries and click on the "Fall Book Sale" banner to register.

The Book Sale will be held in the former Super Kmart, at 4121 New Bern Ave, between New Hope Road and Corporation Parkway in East Raleigh, just past the I-440 interchange.
