Geauga County Public Library's Friends of the Bookmobile are sponsoring a sale of gently used library materials during the Great Geauga County Fair, Aug. 29 through Sept. 2. Fairgoers can attend the sale in the book barn (next to the free parking area by Gate 1), leave their selections with library staff and volunteers, and pick up their materials when they leave the fair.


According to a news release:

GCPL has been expanding its collection over the past year, resulting in extra weeding efforts to make room for new materials. The upshot of this practice is that hundreds of additional fiction and nonfiction titles are now available for people to acquire and add into their personal collections. Also, a wide variety of DVDs and CDs will be on the shelves.

Monday is “bag day,” when $3 buys people a bag filled with as many books as it will hold.

“The book sale at the fair is popular every year,” says Bookmobile Manager Jane Attina, “but this year’s selection is among the most robust I’ve ever seen. This is a great time to stock up on all kinds of reading material.”
