As always, the sale will feature a broad assortment of books in dozens of

fiction and non-fiction categories as well as hundreds of children’s books,

audio books, CD and DVDs. For the best selection, come for FOL members only

night, Thursday, November 5 from 5 pm – 7 pm. If you’re not a member, it’s

easy to join at the door.

The sale is open to the public on Friday,

November 6, 9:30 a.m. – 6 p.m., and Saturday, November 7, 9:30 a.m.–2 p.m.,

with special sales early Saturday afternoon. The Peck Center Gym is located

With most items priced at $2 or less, FOL’s spring and fall book sales

generate approximately $20,000 annually for specialized databases, network

access, books, e-books, periodicals, and other materials to keep the

Fernandina Beach Library current.

As a separate project, FOL is conducting a capital campaign to help

furnish the Library on N. 4th St. that opened last spring. For more
