Oconee County Library Friends Preps For Winter Book Sale On Heels Of Successful Fall Event

Oconee County Library Friends, following a record used book sale in the autumn, is preparing for its Winter Sale from Feb. 2 to Feb. 4.

The Winter Sale will be held at the Watkinsville Library itself, rather than at the Civic Center, as was the case in September.

That September sale brought in $17,476, up from $15,612 in 2015, according to Penny Mills, Library Friends treasurer and book sale coordinator.

As a result of the strong Winter Sale and other fundraising efforts, Oconee County Library Friends donated $25,000 to the Watkinsville Library, up from $23,000 a year earlier.

Mills said the February sale inventory includes a “nice, nice selection of children’s books” across all age groups.

She said there also will be a good selection of history and of science fiction.
