Don’t miss this one day sale on gently-used mystery novels, most available for <br />only one dollar. This new event debuts on Sunday, November 19, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Downtown <br />Eugene Public Library. All proceeds benefit the Eugene Public Library. <br /> <br />The Friends of Eugene Public Library promise tables filled with mystery favorites: hard-boiled detectives, <br />British peers, mostly-honest cops, international spies, fluffy little ladies from quiet villages, Navajo police <br />officers, and many more. From classics to nearly new bestsellers, hardcover or paperback, most will be <br />priced at one dollar. <br /> <br />According to Carol Hildebrand of the Friends of the Library, “Mystery fiction is a big seller at the Friends' <br />annual book sale in April. But at the moment, donations are outpacing storage space, so we thought <br />we’d give readers a shot at these now. Anyway, winter’s the perfect time to curl up with a mystery – or a <br />half-dozen mysteries – right?” <br /> <br />The Friends provide paper bags; those planning larger purchases are encouraged to bring boxes. <br />Checks are welcome with proper identification, but the Friends are unable to accept credit or debit cards. <br />Admission is free -- and on a Sunday, free City parking, including in the garage beneath the Library is <br />available. For more information, call the Eugene Public Library, 682-5450. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 4 <br />November 9, 2006 <br />
