There’s no need to spend a fortune on brand-new books — various Friends of the Library groups throughout Fairfax County are holding used book sales this spring that can help you stock your bookshelves for a lower price, all while supporting the library.
Shoppers will find “gently used” books, CDs, and DVDs at a discounted rate. And all proceeds support the library..
