  • Spring book sale is the week of April 24th
  • Paperbacks start at 50 cents
  • Friends of Kurth Memorial Library get first dibs

I recently heard that there were some people that wouldn't date or marry someone that doesn't own any books. I can see where that might be a deal breaker if you are an avid reader.

Make book ownership a priority and save money at the same time with the Friends of Kurth Memorial Library Spring book sale. It all starts on Monday, April 24, 2023 with paperbacks and magazines.

You can get magazines starting at 25 cents and paperbacks starting at 50 cents. These are available for purchase Monday  - Thursday at the circulation desk from 10 AM to 6:45 PM, and Friday - Saturday fro 10 AM - 5:30 PM.

Sales will be by cash or check only at the circulation desk. You'll not only get a great deal, but you will also help this Lufkin library buy even more books.
