Our Fall 2014 book sale is coming to the end...and we still have lots of books available. (We also have CDs and DVDs still on the sale table too.) The book sale (but not library services) will open at noon.
All items are half-price on the last day. We take payment in cash, check, debit card, and credit card. And the sale is over promptly at 5 pm on September 28.
Hope to see you!

FALL 2014 BOOK SALE - Reminders
Book Sale Hours:
Thursday, Sept. 25 from 5 pm to 9 pm
Friday, Sept. 26 from 10 am to 6 pm
Saturday, Sept. 27 from 10 am to 5 pm
Sunday, Sept. 28 (1/2 price day) from noon to 5 pm
The book sale ends each day promptly at the announced closing time. We accept cash, check, or credit/debit cards. Credit and debit card purchases are available only at a few of the cashier stations. Please be in line to pay for credit card purchases at least 15 minutes before the end of the sale day, since the library wireless network (which we use to process payments) shuts down promptly at the end of library hours. We may announce an earlier deadline for getting into the credit card purchase line if the checkout line is lengthy.
We don't have VHS tapes at our sales any longer. Also, some of our categories have been moved around in the library, and some overflow boxes are under the tables. We will have maps and volunteers to help you find where the books are located.
Book Sale Policy Reminders:
All sales are final. We haven't viewed the DVDs, nor listened to the recorded books or CDs. When we placed the items on the sale table, all CDs and DVDs were in their containers.
Parking. Please be careful to park only in marked parking spaces and not along Evergreen Lane where the police may ticket you. There is also parking available at nearby shopping centers.
Bins and boxes and piles of books. No large bins or wheeled bins of any size going down the sale aisles or stored at the end of the aisles. You may carry one copier paper box or banker's box with you in the sales area. We will have designated areas for you to leave your boxes while you continue to shop. You will need to mark them with your name. At busy times, we may limit how long you may leave your boxes or containers and how many containers you may store in the designated areas.
Wheel chairs are always welcome.

Treasures for All Tastes at the Fall Book Sale
Need books? We got books. We have titles in 80+ categories from A (for Animals, Art, and Architecture) to W (World History). Our book sale is so big we provide maps so you can go straight to your little chest of literary gold.Here’s a little sample of some of the nifty things that will be available this fall:
A Whole Lotta of Literature!
~ Great Books, complete 54-volume set 1971 printing (19th printing) - $300
~ Harvard Classics, 20-volume - $60
One might say that with one of these sets, you’ll never need to buy another book ever again…and then we’d all have a good laugh, because we all know there is no such thing as enough books.
Libros, 책, Książki and книги
~ A beautiful thing about Annandale’s international community is that we always have an excellent selection of foreign language books. In addition to our usual selection of European and Asian language books (including Spanish, French, Korean and Japanese) this fall we also offer books in Polish and Russian.
Round Out your Rifleman Collection
~ The American Rifleman, Annual Sets in NRA binders, from 1963 to 1973
Bellisima!
~ An unusually large selection of beautiful art books.
20th Century Insights
~ Keen for some 20/20 hindsight on the early 20th Century? This year’s history section features a number of books on Stalin era, World War I and World War II.
Graphic Novels
~ Manga, superhero- fantasy… full-color, action-packed comi-bliss.
Great Tunes
~ We’re not just about paper and print. Browse our CDs for a large collection of classical and jazz, in addition to holiday music and other genres.
We hope to see you at the sale!
