Lincoln Public Library holds annual book sale

[August 25, 2025]    

On Friday, August 22nd and Saturday August 23rd, the Lincoln Public Library hosted their annual book sale. This yearly book sale coincides with the Balloons Over 66 weekend. The book sale is held each year in the basement of the library building.

On Saturday, Jan and Ed Jeffries were present, collecting money and handing out bags. A large paper grocery bag was able to be purchased for $1. When purchasing one of these bags, you were allowed to take home as many books as could fit in the bag.

There were books of all different categories and genres, ranging from children and fiction to self-help and educational books. There was a pretty good turn out around 10:30, with Ed sharing that there was a larger crowd earlier in the morning. The book sale ran all the way until 3:00 that afternoon.
