The Friends of the Guelph Public Library (FGPL) will be holding its 11th annual giant book sale from Oct. 20 to 22.
The event features more than 100,000 items consisting of books, videos, DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs, LPs, sheet music, audio books, games and puzzles. All proceeds go towards the Guelph Public Library.
“Our event has become one of the most anticipated for book lovers,” said Virginia Gillham, chair of the Friends of the Guelph Public Library and Chair of the Sale.
“A great deal of time and care goes into planning and preparing for the event, which shows in the organized layout and informative volunteers.”
The sale also features a coffee shop by Joe Coffee and a children’s section of more than 13,000 items.
Furthermore, for the fourth year, a generous anonymous donor has made it possible for every child under 16, accompanied by an adult to have a free book from the Children and Young Adults section. The sale will be held at 69 Huron Street in Guelph, one block from the intersection of Elizabeth and Huron. There is an early bird entry Oct. 20 from 1 to 4pm with an admission fee of $10/person.
