Another Great Lancaster City Secret....

Anyone who knows me will not be surprised that book reading is one of my favorite pass times. I'm a re-reader so I prefer to buy affordable, used books to borrowing them. The other day, I stumbled across one of my new favorite places! It's the Marshall Street Book Outlet! The Book Outlet is run by the Friends of the Lancaster Public Library and all proceeds benefit the Lancaster Library!

The Book Outlet operates out of the Book ReSort, where book donations are received and sorted for the Library's annual sales. The outlet stock comes from these donations. The volunteers were WONDERFUL! They even added my name and wanted titles to their watch list and will call me when my wanted books come in!

The Marshall Street Book Outlet is located at 225 North Marshall Street (corner of Marshall and Fulton Sts.). Their hours are Mondays & Wednesdays from 10 AM - 12 PM, Sundays from 2 - 4 PM and the 1st Saturday of each month from 10 AM - 1 PM (hours are subject to change).

The prices are fantastic (think of their book sale prices)! I walked away with over 5 titles and spent less than $10! They have books for all ages and include fiction and non-fiction titles.

Starting this year, the Library's annual book sale will only run once instead of twice annually. The book sale will also take place at their new location in F&M's Alumni Center at 931 Harrisburg Pike in Lancaster. Here are the dates and times for 2009's Sale:

  • Monday, June 8, 7 AM - 9 PM
  • Tuesday, June 9, 9 AM - 9 PM
  • Wednesday, June 10, 9 AM - 6 PM

MARK YOUR CALENDAR AND I'LL SEE YOU THERE!
