It’s that time of year again. The Spring Fling Book Sale will run from Wednesday, March 26th through Sunday March 30th.

We’re clearing out books that have not moved off our shelves in over five years as well as those donated to us for the book sale.

We have lots of children’s books this year. We also have VHS and DVDs!

 New this year – in addition to our usual Half-Price Saturday Sale and our Bag O`Books for a Buck Sale on Sunday we are also offering a Bag O`Books for 5 Cans O`Food! Bring in clearly labeled, un-dented canned goods - 8 oz size and up and trade them for books. Five cans will get you one of our bags which you may fill with books from any table!  All food collected will be given to the Food Pantry at Helping Hands For Jesus in Alvarado. This is your chance to do something nice for those who truly need your help while allowing you to bring home some new treasures!
