The 2010 Annual Used Book Sale will be held September 9-12 at Koelbel Library, 5955 S. Holly Street, Centennial, and will feature more than 40,000 books.

“The Arapahoe Library District’s Annual Used Book Sale is one of the largest in the area, and features quality books sorted into categories, making it easier for our custom-ers to browse books that might interest them,” said Thersa Dando, Friends Board Vice President and Book Sale Chair Person.

In addition to books, the sale also features other media, including CDs, videos, audio books on cassette, and a limited number of DVDs. Materials range in price from 50 cents for regular sized paperbacks, to $2.50 for hardbacks and oversized paperbacks.

Proceeds from the book sale will help sup-port important initiatives for the Library District, including Summer Reading, which serves more than 20,000 children, teen and adult patrons each year.

Sheridan Library Update

Sheridan High School recently received a grant to re-model their building to improve security and will need to use our current Sheridan Public Library space to make these changes.

Therefore, the Sheridan branch of the Arapahoe Library District will move out of its current location by May 2011. To provide uninterrupted service to the Sheridan community, the Library District is working closely with the Sheridan School District in considering all options. We will continue to keep the public informed as we learn more.

If you have any questions, please contact Jessica Sidener, Manager of Communications, at ask@ald.lib.co.us or 303-792-8999, extension 19101.

Smoky Hill Library, 5430 S. Biscay Circle, Centennial, will host a Homeschool Curriculum Fair on Friday, September 3 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m.

The fair provides an opportunity for homeschooling families to network with other families in order to sell or trade used curriculum. Parents interested in selling used curriculum
