Second Saturday Book Sale!

Second Saturday Book Sale!

Magnolia House Book Sale - Saturday, June 8th, 10:00 am until 2:00 pm.   This month we are celebrating our 3rd Anniversary at the Magnolia House!   We are fortunate to be able to hold these book sales that benefit the Leland Library next door @ 485 Village Road in Leland.

 

Books are $0.50 for paperbacks and $1.00 for hard cover with all book sale proceeds benefiting the Library.  We have varied donations and there is always something new!   Be sure to check out the Special Collections Room.  We have Poetry, Classics, Audio Books....and this month we have a table with books that definitely are older, but still attractive to lots of readers!

 

Elaine Colton, author of The Newport Girls, will be at the sale with her newest book, The Afternoon, which has just been released.  Elaine lives in Leland and is excited to be able to visit in the community and sign her  new book!

 

We look forward to seeing you there!
