A recurring event at the New Hanover County Public Library offers the public access to a wide variety of gently used books, media, and sometimes other library materials at significantly reduced prices. These events provide an opportunity for the community to acquire reading materials and support the library’s operations.
These initiatives serve multiple purposes, fostering literacy, providing affordable access to information, and generating revenue for the library system. Funds acquired are often reinvested into library programs, new acquisitions, and facility improvements, benefiting the entire community. Historically, such events have been instrumental in supplementing library budgets and promoting readership.
