Library Book Sale

Grow your library at home with a small investment. How does $1 per book sound? Your dollar goes far when you stock up on books, DVDs, CDs, audiobooks, puzzles and games at the huge Friends of the Library Fall Book Sale Oct. 16-20 in Springfield.

The sale features items for all ages and reading levels; in all genres, from history to sci-fi/fantasy to business/economics, and best-sellers of all kinds.
