Our annual fall book sale continues through Saturday, October 25. Books are now half price, so it's a great time to get bargains for winter reading.
We often get calls from people asking when we are going to discount our books or if we are going to sell them for $1 per bag. We usually can't give a satisfactory answer, and here is why:
With each book sale we set a goal for ourselves based on our experience with past book sales. Once we reach a certain level of daily sales we can project how much we will probably make over the remaining days and if we will be able to discount the books and still reach our goal. When we reach the point where we feel we WILL meet out goal, we usually discount to half price first. With the rising cost of books and other library materials, we need to maximize our profits with each sale, so we seldom go to $1 per bag anymore.
Thanks to all of you who support our library by donating to and purchasing at our book sales. The book sales (including our ongoing sale) are a big part of our fundraising and enable us to purchase materials for the library.
