BURLINGTON, ON

The annual Burlington Public Library Book Sale takes place Saturday May 30th;  Runs from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

One-day sale of gently used library books and other item.

Book lovers can mark their calendars for this super-sized sale.

Following the runaway success of past sales, BPL has continued its in-depth review of print, DVD, and CD collections—and that means another fantastic opportunity for Burlington readers, movie lovers, and music fans to discover great finds at great prices.

Collection maintenance helps keep library collections fresh, relevant, and responsive to community interests. While some withdrawn items include extra copies or outdated materials that have been replaced with newer resources, many books and audiovisual items still have plenty of life left to enjoy.

With summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to stock up on beach reads, family favourites, and hidden gems. Shoppers can expect a wide selection of romance, mysteries, science fiction, westerns, graphic novels, adult fiction and non-fiction, children’s books, and more.

• Large-type books

• Magazines for all ages

Tables restocked throughout the day.
