Willoughby-Eastlake Library Boosters bringing back book sale

The Willoughby-Eastlake Library Boosters will be hosting a spring book sale from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., May 21, and 1 to 5 p.m., May 22.

At this cash-only event, books will be 50 cents each or three for $1; music CD’s and magazines will be 25 cents each; DVD’s, audio and video games will be $1 each. Also, May 21 will be a $5 Bag Sale for books only while May 22 will be a $5 Bag Sale for all items.

The sale will be held at 38115 Euclid Ave., adjacent to Willoughby Public Library.

“This is our first sale in more than two years and we are thrilled to be back in person,” Boosters President Karen Fraley stated in a news release. “Book sales are our primary source of funding for library programs.”

The mission of the Willoughby-Eastlake Library Boosters it to promote closer relations between the Willoughby-Eastlake Public Library and the citizens of Eastlake, Lakeline, Timberlake, Waite Hill, Willoughby, Willoughby Hills and Willowick; to bring to the attention of the community the purpose and usefulness of the library; and to raise funds to help support the library in its various services.

Besides being the first sale since the pandemic began, it will also be the first event to be held at the library’s recently purchased property in downtown Willoughby.

“The library purchased the former Citizens Bank building property in downtown Willoughby in 2021,” Willoughby-Eastlake Public Library Director Rick Werner stated in the release. “The building will be renovated over the next two years to serve as the library’s administrative offices, materials processing center as well as for other community uses.”

There will be free bank vault tours on Saturday.
