The sale will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, July 26, and Saturday, July 27, and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 28, according to a news release.

There will be a $5 admission charge from 10 a.m. to noon Friday. Books will be half price Sunday.

Adult and children’s hardcover books will be $2. Adult paperbacks will be $1 to $2. Board books for young children will be 50 cents.
