The Friends of the Ferdinand Library are hosting their April 2026 Monthly Book Sale this upcoming weekend in conjunction with Ferdinand’s Town Wide Yard Sales.

The Book Sale will be held on Friday, April 10th, and Saturday, April 11th, from 10 AM to 1 PM both days, and the sale can be entered from either the library’s main floor or through the north side doors off of the Ferdinand Community Center parking lot.

This month’s sale will feature a deal on select puzzles, offering them at $.50 for one and three for $1. In addition, CDs, DVDs, and audiobooks will also be selling for the same price as these puzzles.

A variety of new book donations can be purchased at this sale, including a wide selection of fiction and non-fiction, homeschooling materials, religious books, and a nearly complete collection of Nicholas Sparks novels. There will also be a table of graphic novels and video games, including Wii, PS4, and Xbox available to buy.

Prices remain at $1 for hardbacks, $.50 for paperbacks, and children’s books and puzzles are variously priced. The friends can only accept cash or checks for purchases.

Donations of gently used books, DVDs, and puzzles are always welcome by the Friends and can be donated in a bin located at the back of the library near the basement door. They cannot accept encyclopedias, textbooks, magazines, or outdated informational books. They would also appreciate not including musty, dusty, smoky, rodent-chewed, or stained books in your donations.
