The
Gunn Memorial Library in Washington Connecticut is cleaning house through June
13. If you are a book lover, don't miss this chance to fill up a grocery
bag of great books at the library's book basement sale that includes fiction,
non-fiction, hard cover and soft cover books.
There
are over 10,000 books available on just about every topic imaginable and for
every age.
The
quality of the books is outstanding and are being offered at $5 a bag -- a
regular sized grocery bag that is. The library is asking you to be
"green" and to BYOB --- bring your own bag! In addition to the
bag of books sale, the library is also offering a sale of DVDs, music CDs,
books on CDs as well as books that are deemed "special" that will are
priced at $5 and up. All the "special" books are priced at 1/3
lower than prices found on the Internet.
The
book basement hours are Thursday - Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm. The
Library is located on 5 Wykham Rd. in Washington at the junction of Rte. 47
opposite the Green.
After
browsing for books, stop in at the Gunn Memorial Museum located next to the
Library to view their new exhibition titled The Great War. This
exhibition commemorates the 100th anniversary of WWI.
