Friends of the Library Gently Used Book Sale

It is that time of year again! The Annual Giant Gently Used Book Sale hosted by Friends of Calvert Library will begin with a members-only preview night on Thursday, January 8 from 5-7pm. You can join at the door with $10 for an individual and $15 for a family membership.

The sale opens to the public on Friday, January 9 from noon to 3pm and will also be held on Saturday, January 10 from 9am-1pm. The event is in the meeting rooms at the Calvert Library Prince Frederick and there will be thousands of books in good to excellent condition.

The books range from classic fiction and the latest best-sellers to non-fiction titles of all types: self-help, military, biography, cooking, politics, history, you name it. The sale is also well-stocked with children's books and videos for all ages - toddlers to young adult - so this would be the perfect opportunity to pick up a bagful of books to encourage reading in the kids you know.

The proceeds of the sale are used by the Friends of the Library to provide financial support to many of the events and workshops the library offers and to enable the library to offer services and products beyond the reach of tax dollars. For more information call 410-535-0291 or 301-855-1862.
