Book sale a surprising success The Friends of the Fayette County Public Library were very pleasantly surprised last weekend at the public’s overwhelming support of the used book sale. Although the weather was at times rainy, cold and windy (some even reported seeing snow flurries), the citizens of Fayette County and surrounding areas came out and bought books by the bag and boxful. The Friends had been somewhat dubious about this sale since it was not scheduled in conjunction with any of the other Main Street activities and many felt that this “stand-alone” sale might have disappointing results. But the members-only sale Friday was very successful and that success carried over to the general sale Saturday. Because of the great public support, the book sale chairman, Sig Hall, is putting out a call for more book donations. The Friends’ stock of books has been severely depleted and they are in serious need of books for the next sale May 15. They are asking for donations of new and gently used books to help build up the stock for the May 15 sale. Book donations may be left at the library or for large donations, call Sig at 770-631-2913.
