Big Book Sale 2023
We are excited to announce the BIG Book Sale for 2023. Traditionally the sale is held the last week in February. However, this year the sale will be April 28-30, 2023.
Why did the Friends make this change of months? Last year, we opted for the larger Solar building at the Benton County Fairgrounds. This new space allowed us to spread our tables out, give more room for customers to browse, and also gave us space for ALL of the books from the warehouse. We no longer had to replenish books throughout the sale from another location at the fairgrounds. Volunteers and patrons alike told us how much nicer the space was! However, this building does not have heat, and without heat it was very cold during our February sale last year. Thus the decision was made to move to a warmer time of year.
We thank the library community for the huge success of our 2022 Fall Festival and Holiday Sales. Both sales had record profits and we look forward to another successful BIG Book Sale!
