Book Sale! 

    The Friends of the Findlay-Hancock County Public Library will be holding a book sale on May 2, 3, and 4 at the library.

     The sale begins with a special preview sale for Friends of the Library Members only on Thursday, May 2 from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. The sale continues on Friday from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. and will be open during the ArtWalk Art Show at the library, and Saturday, from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. in the Lindamood Room and the Blanchard Room at the library.

     Books, CDs and DVDs that have been donated or withdrawn from the library’s collection are given a new life by the Friends as a result of their book sales. With reduced prices on books, music and movies, the sales are a bargain hunter’s dream.
