Contractors or retail stores donate excess materials, out of production inventory or materials removed before demolition or remodeling rather than disposing of them in the landfill. This saves the contractor or store from paying a disposal fee and valuable landfill space. All proceeds are used to finance Habitat for Humanity activities, such as constructing or repairing homes for low-income citizens. Big Book Sale Book lovers rejoice. Approximately 70,000 items will be on sale at the Annual Friends of the Fort Worth Public Library Book Sale Nov. 12 through 16 at Will Rogers Memorial Complex' Poultry Barn.
Bargain hunters can select from all types of books, videos, records and several CDs.
Some of the most popular items include cookbooks, coffee table books, reference books, children's books and rows and rows of paperback books. These for-sale library items become available when they are removed from the library's collection. Donated titles, already in abundance, are also sold. The sale begins with a sneak-preview sale for Friends members only from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday. Proceeds from the sale are used to buy more library books.
