OCEAN PINES–The Friends of the Ocean Pines Library will present its annual book sale on Friday, July 25, 6-9 p.m.; Saturday, July 26, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Monday, July 28, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The library is located at 11107 Cathell Road, next to the Ocean Pines post office and across from the Sports Core pool.
The Friday evening sale is limited to members of the FOPL, but people may join or renew memberships at the door and proceed to the sale. Membership is $5 for individuals or $10 for a couple or family.
On Monday, prices will be marked down to half price.
This sale is the single biggest source of funds for the Friends of the Ocean Pines Library. This group is continually seeking ways to upgrade services and equipment at the Ocean Pines library. This year, it supported purchases of new electronic equipment to keep its check-out, inventory and computer facilities current.
The Friends also replaced the benches in the ornamental garden and provide for seasonal cleanup. The children’s and adults’ Summer Reading Programs and the McGuffey Reader Program also benefited from donations from the FOPL.
Volunteering options are available. Active, strong-armed people are needed on the morning of Thursday, July 24, to carry boxes of books from storage and set up the sales tables, and also in the afternoon of Monday, July 28 to box unsold books and return the room to normal. Other tasks include helping shoppers check out purchases and keeping the tables neat and well supplied with books.
