Want to take home a library book and keep it forever? You don\u2019t have to dodge the late return reminders \u2013 seriously, please don\u2019t do that. In addition to our usual smorgasbord of books and movies that are free to borrow (and promptly return), we have several ways for you to get free and cheap books for your personal collection.<\/p>

The second Saturday of every month is our Library Book Sale! From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., our volunteers open up the big book sale room in the basement for you to peruse. These offerings are donations and cast-offs from the main library collection. Much as we\u2019d like to keep every book we get our hands on, our library has limited space. As we acquire new books, we remove those that are no longer relevant to our patrons\u2019 needs and send them downstairs. The book sale also welcomes donations of clean, gently-used materials.<\/p>

These books (and more!) are available for extraordinarily low prices of the kind you\u2019d find at your average garage sale. All proceeds directly benefit the library, allowing us to host more fun and educational programs for the whole community.<\/p>

\u201cNew books?\u201d you may ask. \u201cFun programs? How can I find out more?\u201d You can sign up for our weekly Wowbrary newsletter<\/a>!<\/p>

You might\u2019ve missed the last Book Sale of 2024, but our Book Sale will continue in 2025. Plus, there are more options! Immediately to your right as you come in the front door, we have a small selection of book sale items available for free! Take anything you like, any time the library is open.<\/p>

We also have a paperback exchange! Right next to the free books, there is a tall, rotating display full of all kinds of paperback books. Drop off your unwanted books from home at the Circulation Desk, and you can take the same amount off the display. It\u2019s a bit of a vicious cycle if you\u2019re trying to clear up shelf space, but it\u2019s a wonderful way to find new things to read.<\/p>

Complete our Summer, Winter, or year-round Display Reading Challenges to earn prize books. These are the cr\u00e9me de la cr\u00e9me of donated books: mint-condition hardcovers of new and popular titles that we\u2019ve only set aside because the library owns a copy already. If you covet the titles on our very shiny (very heavy \u2013 ask for help) prize cart, you\u2019ll have to work for it. Our Winter Reading Program<\/a> is currently running until January 30th. Sign up today!<\/p>

Intrepid patrons may also find golden tickets hidden throughout the building any time of year. Browse around, take your time, and you\u2019ll be sure to find a reward. Then, claim your prize at the second floor Adult Services Desk!<\/p>

Check out what\u2019s happening on our website’s calendar<\/a> or call us at 765-362-2242. The library is open Monday-Thursday 9a-9p, Friday-Saturday 9a-5p, and Sunday 1-5p.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
