ARLINGTON — The Friends of the Arlington Library will host another two-day book sale on Tuesday, Oct. 14, and Wednesday, Oct. 15, in the lobby of the library at 135 N. Washington Ave. in Arlington.

The sale will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 14, and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 15, and will include used books of all genres, with a large assortment of books for teens and classics, all priced low to sell fast. This month, any book purchase will gain an entry into a special prize drawing.

“We’re here in the lobby of the library on the second Tuesday and Wednesday of each month, and we make about $200 from each lobby book sale,” said Eileen Ray, vice president of the Friends of the Arlington Library. “We also get at least one new member every month from the book sales.”

All proceeds and donations will be used by the group to provide funding for the Arlington Library’s special programs, which are free to the public.

The Friends of the Arlington Library have furnished the library with a copy machine, a PC with a flash drive, and a number of recovered furniture items.

Donations of clean used books, along with CDs and DVDs, can be left at the front desk of the Arlington Library, in bags marked “FAL.”

The Friends of the Arlington Library is a nonprofit group of volunteers, who conduct monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of each month at 3:30 p.m. at the Arlington Library.
