Are you looking for a book on how to start a flower or vegetable garden this spring?

 Second Hand Prose, the Wiscasset Public Library’s used book sale room is a good place to start. This year the room has a new face. A new entrance door keeps the room more air-tight and the new heat pump provides heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer. All this makes the room a pleasant and comfortable place to visit. The Friends new President, Katharine Martin-Savage, donated a table and chairs at which to sit and decide on purchases or a place to relax and read.

             The room is Friends of the Library maintained and most years it is the major source for funding for the Friends. These funds are used to assist the Library for various projects throughout the year.

             New titles are added every week. The collection has recently been rearranged to make the books easier to browse. Books are stocked in categories ranging from fiction, classics, poetry, drama, to a variety of non-fiction and children’s titles. Non-fiction includes books on such topics as biography, history, travel, art, gardening, health, cooking, religion and much more. There are also DVDs, books-on-CD and music CDs for sale.

             Everything is priced to sell! Visit the room this spring and check out our collection. The book sale is opens during regular library hours and closes 30 minutes before the Library closes.

             Reminder: the Friends will be meeting on Monday, May 11^th in the Wiscasset Public Library’s Reading Room. Refreshments will be served at 9:30. Join us for conversation before and after the 10:00 am business meeting. Bring a favorite book to share. New members and visitors are invited to attend.
