Spring is in the air, and with it comes the anticipation of our much-awaited Spring Used Book Sale! Please join us on Saturday, April 20 and Sunday, April 21 to shop gently used books (mostly $1 or less/ DVDs are 10 for $5). The sale will take place in the community room on the lower level of the Urbana Regional Library. The book sale is open to the general public at 10am on Saturday 4/20, though FURL members are invited to shop an hour early at 9am!*Please donate books, time, and/or money towards supporting our library!
This weekend FURL was scheduled to host the Fall book sale. Unfortunately, the Coronavirus pandemic forced us to cancel our sale for the second time this year. “The changing times require FURL as a nonprofit to adapt, so we have kicked off our first ever donation based fundraising campaign” says Katie Esposito, FURL President.
As Gov. Hogan began closing schools, libraries, and businesses, due to the growing coronavirus pandemic, we knew the book sale was just not feasible at this time. Unfortunately, we do not know if we will reschedule the sale or cancel it completely. Like most people, we are living with daily uncertainty about future events.
