The Friends of Lancaster Public Library will host the 70th Annual Big Book Sale June 20-22 in the Alumni Sports & Fitness Center at F&M College, 929 Harrisburg Avenue, Lancaster.

The book sale runs Friday, June 20, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, June 21, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Sunday, June 22 (half price day), 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. With more than 250,000 books available – this is the Book Sale you’ve been waiting for. Credit cards are welcome, parking is free, and we’ll have food trucks on site in the parking lot!

The book sale celebrates its 70th year with over a quarter million used books and thousands of other items including vinyl records, sheet music, audiobooks, CDs, and DVDs. Prices begin at 50¢ for paperbacks and $2 for hardbacks. Individually priced books, including collectible and current fiction and nonfiction, will be for sale. Local authors Beth Oberholtzer, Gregory J. Scott, Ernest Schreiber, Larry Alexander, Mel Lee Newmin, and Nancy Groff will be on hand Saturday, June 21 to sell and sign their books between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Also on Saturday, we will have a preview of the Baubles & Bling Sale from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Ron Adams returns as Chair of the library benefit book sale for the fourth year in a row. He said, “Our primary goals are to provide access to books and raise critical funds for Lancaster Public Library.” With that can-do attitude in place, Ron hopes to recruit community volunteers to help with book sale setup and teardown. With over 2,000 boxes of books to transport and unpack and dozens of tables to move, Ron will take all the help he can get. “The more help we have, the quicker it goes!” For more information, please visit LancasterPublicLibrary.org/volunteer.
