The three-day sale, which continues through Saturday, gives readers a chance to stock up on low-cost books while helping raise funds for library services. It’s one of the library’s biggest fundraisers and a highlight of the fall calendar for local readers.

The seasonal sale features hundreds of gently used books for adults and children, as well as games, puzzles, CDs and DVDs — making it a favorite stop for both book lovers and bargain hunters.

“I’m very impressed, and I’m finding lots of things,” said Mill Hall resident Sheila Russo, a first-time buyer at the Ross Library Fall Book Sale.

In her bag, Russo carried albums she said her husband would enjoy, a few cookbooks for herself and several children’s books for her grandsons. When The Express caught up with her, she was headed toward the tables of her favorite authors in search of a few more finds.

Russo was among the many who attended the sale’s Preview Night, where, for $20, guests could browse the shelves early while enjoying wine and light refreshments.

“I think this is a great fundraiser. I’m so happy to be able to do something for the library,” Russo said. “It’s a little something, but if we all pitch in, it’s great.”

Rona Houser, chair of the Clinton County Library Board of Trustees Fundraising Committee, said the sale serves a double purpose.

“In addition to being a great opportunity to find plenty of winter reading, it helps us out tremendously,” Houser said.

The Fall Book Sale is among the library’s most popular fundraisers, offering families an affordable way to expand their home libraries while supporting library programs and services. Proceeds help fund activities for children, teens and adults, and contribute to maintaining the library’s collections and resources.

And the prices? “You can’t beat them,” she added. “If you want to physically have a book in your hand, this is the way to go.”

Houser noted that many shoppers recycle books they bought at previous sales, donating them back to keep the titles circulating and the money flowing to the library.

“It’s a wonderful thing for the community,” said Joshua Hudson, board president. “It definitely brings money back to the library and helps us do what we do everyday.”
