(Atlantic) – If you love to read a good book, you have an opportunity to fill your bookcase, AND, help out the Atlantic Public Library. The group “Friends of the Atlantic Public Library,” (FOL) will hold their Spring Book Sale this coming Wednesday through Friday, from 9-a.m. to 6-p.m., each day. Proceeds from the book sale helps to support a variety of library programs, such as the: Summer reading program; adult programs; youth programs and the annual “Shred day.”

COVID threw a wrench in efforts to hold the event last Spring, but the Fall sale went on as scheduled. Persons planning to attend the Spring Book Sale will still need to wear a mask and practice social distancing. In 2019, 15 volunteers worked more than 200 hours getting ready for the event. They unpacked booked, arranged and alphabetized them, and ended-up selling an estimated 5,000 books/periodicals. Their efforts raised a little more than $3,100, from books sold for anywhere from 25-cents to One-dollar.

You can also donate books, prior to the sale. If you’d like more information about FOL, contact President Ken Moorman, Vice President Linda Templeman, Secretary Barb Chase, or Treasurer Dottie Krogh.
