Each seller will receive an eight-foot space for $10, and they get to keep their own profits. The book sales usually attracts between 750-1,000 people throughout the day.

“We are hoping to boost the event so we decided to have a community yard sale,” Union Library Director Harriet Ehrsam said. “If they want to pay $10 they can sell their merchandise at a centralized location with a lot of advertising. We thought it would be helpful for everyone.”
