Bargain day is 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 20. A standard paper grocery bag full of books sells for $3, a plastic grocery bag for $2.
The Friends of the Hancock County Public Library is a membership-supported nonprofit organization raising money for the library through the sale of donated books and other media.
The Friends group was established in 1979 and since that time has raised money to cover the costs of cultural events, library equipment and reading incentives.
Proceeds fund free concerts and children’s special events.
