to
O’Neal Library 50 Oak Street , Mountain Brook, Alabama 35213
It’s that time again! The Friends of the Emmet O’Neal Library Book Sale arrives later this month. The sale will be open to the public Friday and Saturday, Feb. 22-23 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and on Sunday, Feb. 24, from 1-4 p.m. Great deals abound on a wide variety of subjects, and we have something for everyone. Drop in, find books for yourself and friends, and support the Library. Stop by each day of the sale; you’re sure to find something different each time.
We have plenty of current fiction very reasonably priced and in excellent condition,” said Friends of the Library President Susan Elliott. “This year we also have a large number of biographies, many books on history and lots of books on tape.”
The newest books, antique treasures and other valuable books will be upstairs in the meeting room. Downstairs in the Friend’s Room, shoppers will find fiction, history, gardening, cookbooks and more at great prices.
The early bird gets the worm on Thursday night, Feb. 21 with the Book Sale Preview Party. From 6-8:30 p.m., this invitation-only event offers partygoers the first crack at the best books, including art and coffee table books, collectible items and rare titles. Donors giving $25 or more to the Emmet O’Neal Library will receive an invitation to the party.
Working with Elliott to make this year’s sale a success are Book Sale Chairs Leigh Fullington and Nicki Barnes. They stress that they couldn’t put on this sale without your help! Throughout the year, they are glad to accept your gently used books, audio-books, music and movies. Proceeds from the sale make up a significant portion of funding for the many programs hosted by the Library for all ages throughout the year.
