SUCCESSFUL BOOK SALE

The Friends of the Marathon County Public Library held another very successful book sale the first weekend in November. Although no where near a record sale, they still generated in excess of $5,000 to use in programs to benefit MCPL. That's a lot of books at 50 cents each! Also the organizers of the sale feel very good about the service they provided to the community in supplying books at an economcal price to seniors, children, home schoolers, and book lovers in general. It's very gratifying to see the smile on the faces of patrons as they walk out with their bag of books, eager to get home and go over their "treasures".

The Wausau Daily Herald has done an excellent job of covering the FMCPL book sales over the years and produced a multimedia clip on the latest sale. You can find this at :
