Desert Foothills Library

Friends of the Library

The Friends Book Sale will be held once again at the Desert Foothills Library on

Saturday, May 3rd from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

There will be more of the Western paperbacks, mostly out-of-print, written by many of the famous authors of that genre . Some go back to the 1940's, others span the decades up to now. Our donor collected the complete works of some of these authors, and the majority of the writings of many others. What a gold mine for those of you who appreciate these simple stories of adventure, conflicts of good and evil, black hats vs. white hats. These are "seasoned" books, i.e. some appear to have been carried in a cowboy's hip pocket on many a roundup, but every inspiring word is there. The majority of them are priced at $1 each.

These will be sold separately from our regular collection, on special tables set up in the main library room just outside the Friends room.

All videos will be on sale for 50 cents each and there will be lots of Bargain Books out on the patio.

Remember, the Book Room is open anytime the Library is open.

If you prefer a quiet and calm venue while shopping for books instead of the somewhat crowded four hours of the sale you might try this different option.

The book sales are held on the first Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and there will be something special every month. The Friends' room is open every day during library hours. Book donations are always welcome.

As a convenience to those of a certain age, we will borrow 4 rolling stools for use in the regular paperback section which is now mostly alphabetized. Those low shelves are killers on the knees and we hope the moans and groans as patrons try to get upright will be eliminated.
