Library Announces Spring Book Sale: May 2-4
The Evanston Public Library will hold its Spring Book Sale from Friday, May 2 to Sunday, May 4. Buyers can expect to: browse through a collection of vintage books from the recently
closed Bookman's Alley; discover an astonishing array of children's
books ready for the discerning buyer and gift-giver; find the usual array of top condition fiction and non-fiction
at low, low prices. Did we say low? (Even lower than low.) The Evanston Public Library Book Sale has been named "The
Best Used Book Sale" by the Chicago Reader.
All
proceeds from the sale, which takes place in the third floor Book Sale Room, benefit the Evanston Public
Library. Last year, Evanston Public Library Book Sales raised $60,000
for the Library.
Book Sale Hours:
Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3: 10am to 5:30pm. (There will be an Early Bird Preview on Friday from 10am to Noon, $5 admittance fee. At all other times the Book Sale is free.)
Sunday, May 4: 12pm to 5:30 pm, all books half-price.
The Evanston Public Library is located at 1703 Orrington Avenue. Parking is available in the Library's underground parking garage, as well as in the nearby surface lot, metered street parking, and City Parking Garage at Church St. and Chicago Ave.
