A recurring community event offers the public an opportunity to purchase gently used books, media, and other materials at significantly reduced prices. These sales are typically organized and hosted by the local public library system as a fundraising activity.
These fundraising events provide several key benefits. They generate revenue for the library, which can be used to support programming, purchase new materials, and enhance services. Furthermore, they promote literacy and access to affordable reading materials for the community. Historically, such events have played a vital role in resource management and community engagement for public libraries.
