I also worked at the library in Niles that had their sale a couple times a year. Glencoe also did their sale a couple times a year and they start out with books for maybe $5 for large hardcover books, $3 for smaller ones, then childrens books and paperbacks are priced lower. The last day of the sale you could fill a bag for like $10. The Glencoe and Niles sales were run by "Friends of the Library". So perhaps the library gives them to the "Friends" and they sell them and in turn spend money on special programs for the library. I don't know the arrangement out here in the south suburbs because I haven't purchased any used books from them.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385290159403288196noreply@blogger.com
