One of the community’s most family-oriented traditions will take place in a little over a month when Cascade Township rolls out its annual Fourth of July celebration. And, as usual, the Friends will help make the event special with their annual used book sale both outside and inside the library.
Things will kick off with a members-only pre-sale from 3-5 pm July 3 inside the library’s Wisner Center, according to Kathy Sullivan, event chairperson.
“Last year’s presale was such a hit with our members that we decided to do it again this year, but with one important improvement,” she said. “Last year, we limited the number of book categories for the presale. This year, we will have all categories on display for members to choose from.”
Then, weather permitting, additional tables will be set up outside in the parking lot for the bigger Fourth of July sale, which will be open to the public from 8 am to 3 pm. Sullivan said more tables will be outside than last year based on feedback from patrons.
“Several people expressed a preference for more books outside after last year’s sale,” she said, “and we are making every effort to accommodate their preference. But, we don’t have as much of the parking lot available to us as we did five years ago since the township has other needs for the space. So, we’re making do as best we can.”
While the cost of just about everything else in the world has skyrocketed in the last year, the Friends’ book prices have not gone up, with hardcover adult books at $1 and paperbacks at $0.50. Children’s books are half the price of adult books.
“We’re also having a $10 bag sale right from the outset of the day,” Sullivan said. “All the adult books you can reasonably fit into a bag the same size as one of our bags for just $10. If you bring your own bag, please note that oversized bags—such as IKEA bags—are not appropriate and will need to be re-bagged at checkout.”
Shoppers can expect all the regular categories of books, including fiction, non-fiction, biography, cooking, religion, business, home & garden, self-help, travel, recreation, art, reference, and children’s. CDs and DVDs will also be available individually or by the bag.
Consider Volunteering for the Sale
An event this big has a lot of moving parts. And, the most important part is the people who volunteer their time to make it a success. If you've volunteered in the past, you know how much fun it is. If you haven't, this is your chance to find out and have a positive impact on your community at the same time. There are several different roles you can fill, and none of them requires a lot of experience.
The 4th of July sale will run from 8 am to 3 pm with a Members-Only presale from 3-5 pm July 3.
