Friends of the Palisades Library will host its next book sale on Saturday, September 7, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Due to the excessive heat warning in place, the sale will take place in the Palisades Branch Library Community Room, as well as in the shade in the colonnade.
“Books are in excellent condition, priced to sell and include a variety of genres, including contemporary fiction, nonfiction, art books, cookbooks, special interest, children’s and young adult books,” read information from Friends of the Palisades Library, also known as Pacific Palisades Library Association. “Cash and credit cards accepted.”
PPLA wrote there will be a “very large selection” for families with young adults and children.
“Bring your young readers,” PPLA wrote. “Stock up on all your books for the new school year.”
Books that will be sold at the sale have been “generously donated” by members of the community, which were received and sorted by “wonderful” volunteers. Any books that were received that cannot be sold will be donated to “various worthy organizations,” including other libraries, active military personnel, prisons and senior centers.
PPLA is slated to resume collecting books in October. More information will be published when it is available.
“Proceeds from the sale help the Friends continue to supplement library materials, host a wide variety of programs and classes, and provide special initiatives for youth creative writing and art,” according to PPLA.
Those who attend the September sale will receive a drink card for a free beverage at Caffe Luxxe, as well as a voucher for a book at the Friends of the Palisades Library patio bookstore.
The sale will take place at Palisades Branch Library, 861 Alma Real Drive.
