Spring Book Sale

The Friends of the Library will sponsor the semi-annual sale on Friday, April 12 and Saturday, April 13 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday, April 14 from 1-5 p.m. Proceeds will benefit library programs, including museum passes and special concerts and events.

A Members Only Preview Sale for Friends of the East Providence Public Library will be held on Thursday, April 11 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Individuals can join for a $10 per person annual membership fee, payable in advance or at the door. Bookshelves are continuously restocked throughout the weekend, so visit more than once to see a wide variety of books.

This sale has the best books ever, thanks to generous contributions of new and gently used books from library patrons. Thousands of items are included in the sale, most priced at $1 for hard cover and soft cover books, CDs, DVDs and audio books. Children’s books and pocket-sized paperbacks are 50¢. A special selection of collectibles, which will be offered at the sale, is listed on the library website, under the Friends of the Library. Included are first edition and author-signed books, history, classics, interesting finds, and TV series. The list will continue to be updated as more collectibles are received.

For your convenience, books are sorted in more than 50 clearly marked categories in easily accessible book cases. Novels, including paperbacks, are sorted alphabetically by author. Teachers and parents are invited to peruse the large selection of books for children, including hard cover picture books, board books, beginner readers and activity books, as well as fiction and non-fiction books for young adults. Pay by cash or check only. Questions? Call the library at (401) 434-2453.
