Book Sales
Exciting News!
“Pardon Our Dust”
The Friends of the Clinton Township Library are excited to announce OUR BOOK SALE IS EXPANDING! The Clinton Library Board and Director have generously offered us more space in the basement. It’s a LOT more space. The expectation is we will no longer need to haul books upstairs for the Fall Festival Book Sale. Yea!!!
Some of our many goals for the sale area expansion:
-
A larger Children’s area
-
A space for an ongoing bag sale (bargains galore!)
-
A Rare, Vintage & Interesting Book area
-
More space for Paperbacks (hopefully on shelves!)
-
More space for all Fiction categories
-
An improved checkout space
As this expansion occurs over the coming months, a lot of planning, organizing and hard work will be taking place behind the scenes (mostly). You may notice some changes at our monthly book sales. We intend to offer our regular First Saturday of the Month every month, despite the work being done to accomplish the expansion.
If all goes according to our preliminary timeline (you know what they say about best laid plans?), we will add a large bag sale to our regular sale for a few months (perhaps May, June and July) to help in the final shifting and placing of shelves.
Please be patient and excuse any dust and disorganization while we expand. We promise you’ll like the new bookroom!
Saturday sales are held from 10:00am to 2:00pm
