Used Book Sale Event Details:
The Friends of the Atascocita Library (FOAL) has hosted used books sales since the inception of the Harris County Public Library Atascocita Branch and the tradition continues to this day.
“We started these book sales back in 1991 and did them in front of stores and just anywhere we were allowed,” Becky Berry, president of the FOAL board, said. “The library opened in 1996, so we’ve been doing these book sales a long time.”
FOAL holds the used book sale twice a year and is currently preparing for their summer-fall sale to be held Saturday, Aug. 13 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Atascocita Branch library. The community is encouraged to shop for not only books but a wide variety of items such as Christmas items donated by H-E-B, school supplies, music and magazines with most items priced at $1 or below.
People with disabilities are welcome to arrive an hour early to shop at 9 a.m. Saturday instead of 10 a.m. if they prefer. There will be a preview sale for FOAL members Friday, Aug. 12 from 5-7 p.m. Membership may be purchased at the door.
Proceeds from the sale will help benefit the library.
“The purpose for having these book sales is to raise funds to benefit the library,” Berry said. “The books are all donated by the public. We welcome donations; however there are some things we cannot take. People who are interested in donating can find guidelines on our website.”
The HCPL Atascocita Branch is located at 19520 Pinehurst Trail Drive in Atascocita.
