An opportunity to find the perfect gift for all the readers in our lives and help our fair burgh’s library; yes please. The Corvallis-Benton County Public Library’s annual Holiday Book Sale is upon us. And yes, you can also buy yourself a little gift too.
As always, the sale is organized by the Friends & Foundation of the Library. It’s happening Friday and Saturday, Dec. 5 and 6 in the main meeting room at the Corvallis Library, 645 NW Monroe Ave. Sales benefit activities and programs at all library locations: Alsea, Corvallis, Monroe, and Philomath.
The sale is open to everyone from 2 to 6 pm on Friday, and 9 am to 5 pm on Saturday.
