June at The Book Place

Summer! More time to kick back and read! This month, we help you and your budget with our Fiction Sale; all contemporary fiction and our Sci-Fi books are featured at $3 each (regularly $4-5) for hardcover and trade-size paperback. Small Sci-Fi paperbacks are 50c each.

If movies are more your idle time activity, we just received a HUGE donation of DVDs, and we’re selling them for $1 each, or 3 for $2. They’re going to move fast, so don’t wait too long. Sale ends when the donation has been sold off.

Remember, the Novato Library will be closed starting June 17. Get your fix just around the corner at the Book Place, and support your library while you indulge!

The Board of the Friends of the Marin County Free Library focuses on programs and services for the entire County Library system. We also have Friends chapters at the five regional libraries (Civic Center, Corte Madera, Fairfax, Marin City, and the Novato Libraries). Our income is from sales at our used book store, the Book Place, and membership donations.  When you Join, you may designate your donation for your favorite branch, or give to the County Friends overall.
