“It’s the best book sale on the coast, they tell us.” So says Anne Guerin, president of the Friends of Langlois Public Library who again are presenting the annual Langlois Public Library (LPL) outdoor book sale.
The library lawn is the place. The date is Saturday, July 19th, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The non-profit Friends of LPL will again be joined by the non-profit Langlois Volunteer Firefighters Association to create a truly special family-friendly event featuring book bargains, food, a fire engine and possibly Smokey Bear, if he’s not off fighting fires.
Under-the-sun browsers will find more than a dozen tables filled with books of all genres, well-organized and reasonably priced. Hardbacks cost only one dollar each, paperbacks 50 cents, and children’s books just a quarter. Plus a free book for every child. Movie DVDs, music CDs, puzzles and specially-priced gift books will also be on offer. Unfortunately, credit cards are not accepted, so bring cash.
Book Sale: Last year’s book sale brought in a big crowd.
Strong backs and willing hands are welcome to help with set-up beginning at 8 a.m. and take down at 4 p.m. Browsing and sales begin at 10 a.m. Proceeds will benefit the library.
Fresh air is good for the appetite. As they did last year, the Langlois Fire Department Association will serve delicious food and fixings from 11 a.m. until the food runs out. Proceeds will benefit the Langlois Volunteer Fire District.
In other news, trial scholarships will be offered.
With an emphasis on providing library services to children, the purpose of the trial scholarship is to provide patrons with children in out-of-library district areas in Curry County access to library services. It is currently only available to households with children 18 or under.
One account may be used by multiple qualifying family members. The scholarship covers anyone in that household for the year, so other household members with proof of address may also get cards. Restrictions governing juvenile accounts are set by lending libraries.
To receive a library card, the applicant must provide: Proof of residential address within Curry County and a valid mailing address.
All Curry County Library Network (CCLN) libraries are responsible for following their proprietary policies governing use of patron accounts. Lending libraries enforce restrictions at their own discretion.
Payment for cards will be issued by LPL on receipt of application.
Issuing library is assured of payment and may issue cards immediately upon verification of eligibility. Annual budget for trial scholarship cards is $1,000. LPL is responsible for administering funds.
The library is located at 48234 Highway 101. Look for signs at the south end of Langlois. There is plenty of parking along the highway. For information call (541) 348-2066 or visit langloispubliclibrary.org.
