Book sales
From time to time libraries have sales of books that are no longer needed. Libraries are always buying new books to maintain a good quality of material for lending. Book sales often have a range of items – both children's and adult material – including jigsaw puzzles, music cd's and dvds - to buy at a very low cost. Book sales run during library opening times during specific dates throughout the year. Current prices can be found here. The next book sales are listed below:
Monday 1 December to Friday 12 December
