BAG OF BOOKS SALE THIS WEEK!
The St. Cloud Friends of the Library are having their biggest book sale of the year. The 'Bag of Books' sale will be taking place this Thursday through Saturday in the Mississippi Room at the Great River Regional Library location in St. Cloud.
I spoke with LeAnn Orth, President and Volunteer Coordinator for the St. Cloud Friends of the Library who told me that they collect books all year long for this big sale.

WHERE DO THE FUNDS GO?
The books sold from this event go to support the many programs that are provided by all of the Great River Regional Library location programs, collections, and Library facilities.
ABOUT THE USED BOOKSTORE
The used book store operated by St. Cloud Friends of the Library volunteers, is located just inside the St. Cloud Library, where LeAnn says they have more than just books for sale. They also have music CDs, audiobooks, gift cards, and more that are all donated to them.
FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY USED BOOK STORE
Many of these items will also be available for the book sale as well. The Bag of Books sale will be held in the Mississippi Room, and new books will be reintroduced each day of the event.
The Bookstore hours are:
