None of the books at the sale are more than $1, with all the funds raised going to the Friends of the Library. In addition to paying with cash or checks, this year credit cards will be accepted, with a processing fee.

Friends of the Library is a nonprofit organization working to support the library and enhance special events and programs.

The Cumberland Winds Concert Band will perform their annual spring concert in the atrium of the library on Saturday at 1 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public.

Jennifer Ford, president of the Friends of the Library, said the event has been going on since 1974. “We have the Used Book Sale twice a year, at the end of April and the end of October. “We would love to have your book donations and you can just bring them to the circulation desk at the library and the donations benefit the friends,” Ford said.

The Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library is at 350 Pageant Lane, Suite 501 in Veterans Plaza. For more information visit mcgtn.org/publiclibrary, or call 931-648-8826.
