"We have a huge variety of books, and the books are all good quality," said Diane Rice, who is helping to organize the Friends of the Milanof-Schock Library's annual Spring Book Sale. The sale will be held from Thursday, June 22, through Saturday, June 24, at Donegal High School, 1025 Koser Road, Mount Joy. On Thursday, a preview and purchase event will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. with an admission charge. There is no charge to attend on Friday, June 23, when the sale will run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., or on Saturday, when the sale will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. On Saturday, all books will be one price per bag.

"Our sale is very well organized, so if you're looking for something specific, it's easy to find," Rice noted. "I think that's why people come back year after year."

More than 40,000 books will be for sale, with separate prices for hardcover, paperbacks and children's books, as well as a section for specially priced items. Along with books of every genre, the sale will feature DVDs and CDs. A concession stand will offer hot dogs, barbecue, sweets, treats and drinks, all provided by the Friends of the Library.

"We're set up in the atrium of the high school as well as the cafeteria," Rice stated. "It's just so nice in there. There's plenty of room to browse and spread out."

The book sale is the biggest fundraiser for the Friends group, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All proceeds from the book sale will support new materials, programs and equipment at the library. The Friends group is always looking for volunteers to help with the sale and other events throughout the year, Rice said, noting that the group members receive and sort books for the sale all year long.
