#Osterhout free library free

The sale, the 44th annual for the Osterhout, will open on Monday at the main library, 71 S. вЂњWeвЂ™ve had so many вЂlikesвЂ™ on our Facebook page.вЂќ вЂњPeople are really ready for this,вЂќ Martin said. вЂњAnd we have so many other books in the basement,вЂќ Martin said, вЂњweвЂ™ll be able to replenish the stock throughout the sale.вЂќ вЂњOur prices range from 25 cents to $5,вЂќ Krokos said. Whether you want a vintage copy of Daniel DeFoeвЂ™s вЂњAdventures of Robinson CrusoeвЂќ or a childвЂ™s paperback with a cute rhyming name like вЂњLlama, Llama, Red Pajama,вЂќ the Osterhout could be the place you find it. There also are shelves devoted to recent titles, where authors range from Ann Patchett to Dean Koontz to Madeleine Albright.Д¬ookbooks contain recipes for everything from soups to muffins, and a glance at the biography table shows volumes on Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Lauren Bacall, Eleanor Roosevelt and Edward R. вЂњSome authors, like Stephen King, Mary Higgins Clark and Danielle Steele have their own sections,вЂќ Krokos said. The libraryвЂ™s reading room has 30 stations in it, each filled with a different sort of book - from science fiction and fantasy to self-improvement and health along with sections devoted to crafts, travel, poetry, short stories and reference books. ThatвЂ™s different from three small, drive-by sales held last year, during the pandemic, when volunteers handed out bags of books to customers who were able to choose a broad category, but not individual titles. вЂњWe wonвЂ™t have to contend with rain or wind or intense heat,вЂќ Irene Martin said Friday afternoon, explaining the sale, set for Monday through Saturday, will be held in the air-conditioned comfort of the libraryвЂ™s reading room (enter from the rear of the building, please) instead of outdoors under a tent.Д®ven better, Diane Krokos said, patrons are welcome to peruse the selections and choose the books theyвЂ™d like to buy.
