“Our spring fundraiser is a popular event that folks in the community look forward to each year,” said Friends of Swissvale Library president Sharon Ramsey. “Everything is high quality and very reasonably priced, and the funds we raise go a long way to supporting a valuable community resource.”
Book lovers will find fiction, non-fiction, classics, literature, reference, and cookbooks, plus children’s books. “On Saturday, you can fill a big bag with books for just $2,” Ramsey says. “Of course, the earlier you come, the better the selection, and things sell fast.”
