The Friends of the Library announced the upcoming book sale, set to begin on September 15th, which will be open exclusively to members for the first day. Membership costs $10 annually, allowing access to a wide selection of books, including a significant number of children's titles. The sale will feature hardcover books priced at $2 and paperbacks at $1, with some higher-value books available at increased prices.

The proceeds from the sale will support the \"1,000 Books Before Kindergarten\" program, aimed at fostering early literacy among children. This initiative encourages parents to read to their children before they enter preschool or kindergarten, helping to instill a love of reading from a young age.

Additionally, the library will participate in National Voter Registration Day on September 17th, offering voter registration services throughout the week. The book sale will conclude on September 21st, known as \"bag day,\" where patrons can fill a Friends of the Library book bag for just $1.
