Book Lovers’ Paradise
The 2005 Fall Friends of the Library Book Sale will be held
at 509 Esty Street in Ithaca from October 8th through
October 17th and October 22nd through October 24th.
This sale is one of the largest in the USA, with over
one-quarter of a million items for all ages including
hardcover and paperback books, records, videos, CDs, DVDs,
audio books, computer games, computer software, cassettes,
comic books, graphic novels, role-playing games, maps,
posters, pamphlets, patterns, posters, sheet music, puzzles,
games, and select magazines.
Items are arranged in nearly 80 categories. We have added
several new categories this year including inspirational
fiction, military fiction, role-playing games, and posters.
Maps will be available as you enter.
Prices are based on 4 categories, and each day some prices
decrease. On opening day, items are between $4.50 and $1.00.
Some prices decreasing daily. Check our web site
(www.booksale.org) for a description of the categories.
This year we have a huge selection of art books, many with
beautiful color plates. We also have a wide selection of
photography and architecture books. Since not all books can
be displayed on opening day, books continue to come out of
storage during the sale. When all books are out of storage,
a sign is posted in that section. So, you may want to make
several trips.
We have a special room, called Collector’s Corner, where
special books can be found. They are individually priced.
Most are about, although some rare books may be more.
On opening day there is a limit of 50 items per purchase.
The sale will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. all days with
the exception of opening day (October 8 when the hours are 8
a.m. to 8 p.m.) and the last day (October 24, commonly
called bag day, when the hours are 12.00 p.m. to 8 p.m.)
On Tuesday, October 18, 2005 we will be open from 10:00 a.m.
to 2:00 p.m. for people over 60 years of age or anyone with
a handicap that makes shopping amid crowds problematic.
On Tuesday, October 25, 2005 we are open from 3:00 p.m. to
5:00 p.m. for any not-for-profit organization, teachers, and
home schoolers; anyone entering the building that day must
bring a letter on their organization’s letterhead stating
for whom they are selecting items. We ask that people bring
their own bags or boxes with them. Any books taken at this
time may not be re-donated to the sale.
