Friends of Hastings District Libraries are holding a big, two day book sale at the Hastings Library on Friday 13th January from 9am to 5pm & Saturday 14th January from 10am to 4pm.

“Friday the 13th will be lucky for those attend the sale,” says Shirley Wilson, president of the Friends. “Library staff have recently completed a major cull and there are plenty of items on offer.”

“The process of withdrawing stock is vital and requires a level of expertise,” says Paula Murdoch, District Libraries Manager, ”Ideally we need to ‘weed’ annually to ensure collections are up-to-date and we have room for all the new books that our readers love to borrow.”

“The sale will include music CDs that are being removed from the collection. This doesn’t happen very often.”

The book sale is one of the many ways the Friends of the Library support the libraries. For more information on Friends of the Libraries go to www.hastingslibrary.co.nz

There will be some great bargains on offer during the two day book sale on January 13th and 14th at the Hastings Library.
