Books2Buy
At the Library Book Sale, you can take our stuff home with you... and keep it!
Missing our ever-popular Books2Buy Sales? Us too! Physical distancing measures mean you can’t attend our Sales in-person, so we’re bringing them to you! Participate in the spirit of Books2Buy from the comfort of your home through our Online Book Sale.
On Monday, August 24 we’ll be selling a limited number of Books2Buy grab bags. Inside each reusable EPL bag you’ll receive a variety of ten (10) books (a mix of hardcover and paperback) curated by our expert volunteers around a pre-selected theme. Bags are $20 each and will be ready for pickup at our Whitemud Crossing Branch beginning Monday, August 31.
The link to shop the Online Book Sale will be posted here at 10 a.m. on Monday, August 24.
