The Lanier Library Fall Book Sale will be held on Chestnut Street in Tryon on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 7 and 8 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. There will also be a members-only preview of the sale on Wednesday, Oct. 6 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The sale’s organizer, Joan Roseberry, reports that the library has had an extraordinary number of excellent books donated for this sale, as well as CDs, DVDs and other media.
The historic Lanier Library is one of only16 membership libraries remaining in the United States and is the only one in N.C.
The library is supported by its members’ dues, gifts and endowments and receives no tax money.
Two book sales a year, in spring and fall, are the library’s only fundraising events. The proceeds help maintain the high quality of materials available. New members are welcome.
