If you are looking for a great<br />
deal on books, CDs and DVDs,<br />
puzzles and toys, head to the<br />
Friends of the <strong>Medway</strong> Library<br />
Book Sale. This highly anticipated<br />
Mega Spring Sale has<br />
always been a popular event.<br />
There are fifteen thousand<br />
newly donated, gently used<br />
books representing a wide variety<br />
of interests, for adults and<br />
children. In the Cole Room,<br />
also, will be a large selection of<br />
media including DVD’s, CD’s,<br />
Vinyl Records. Books on Tape,<br />
and Computer Games. The<br />
room will also include an assortment<br />
of artwork, household<br />
items, puzzles, games, and toys.<br />
The event begins with the<br />
“Friends-Only Sale” on Friday<br />
evening, <strong>May</strong> 10, from 6 to 8<br />
p.m. Members get first chance<br />
to preview and buy books.<br />
Memberships may be bought<br />
at the door or dues paid ahead<br />
of time at the library. A year’s<br />
individual membership is only<br />
$10 for individuals and $15 for<br />
families.<br />
The Public Sale is Saturday,<br />
<strong>May</strong> 11 from 10 am to 2 pm.<br />
Most books and media will be<br />
available at bargain prices, between<br />
25 cents and 2 dollars.<br />
The following Saturday, <strong>May</strong><br />
18 is the Bag Sale in which buyers<br />
may fill up a brown paper<br />
grocery bag for only $5. Friends<br />
will provide the bags. However,<br />
this year, so everyone has an opportunity<br />
to get media at the<br />
Bag Sale, buyers will be limited<br />
to 10 DVD’s.<br />
Books are carefully sorted<br />
on shelves and on tables in the<br />
Cole Room, in over 50 categories.<br />
Fiction is easy to search by<br />
genre: science fiction, mystery,<br />
romance, as well as popular<br />
literature and classics. Nonfiction<br />
has numerous categories,<br />
including sections on sports, history,<br />
politics, travel, finance, inspiration,<br />
biography, nature, art,<br />
music, crafts, health, religion,<br />
gardening and cooking. There<br />
is also a special section of antiquarian<br />
books. Shoppers are<br />
bound to find something of interest.<br />
The sale is especially the<br />
place to go for children’s and YA<br />
books, most which are priced between<br />
25 cents and $1. Co-president<br />
of Friends, Meg Hamilton,<br />
recalls, “I always bought my<br />
children’s books at the library<br />
sales. For the price of one book<br />
at a retail store, I could get 20<br />
almost-new ones. Also, it’s a terrific<br />
way to support the library.<br />
The $19,000 Friends raised last<br />
year supplemented the library’s<br />
operating budget, helping to pay<br />
