That BIG Book Sale to Feature Over 60,000 Books

The Charleston Friends of the Library (CFOL) returns to host its 41st annual That BIG Book Sale from May 19th to 21st at the Omar Shrine Auditorium in Mount Pleasant. 

Their largest fundraiser of the year, CFOL will have over 60,000 books in all categories including children’s, fiction, history, cooking, gardening, foreign language, classics, and more, all on sale with many priced as low as just $1. The event benefits the Charleston County Public Library (CCPL).

“Behind every thriving library is a hearty group of volunteers aptly named the Friends,” said Angela Craig, Executive Director of CCPL. “Here at CCPL, the Friends of the Library book sales raise funds for library programs for our youth, teens, and adults to enjoy. So whether you’re a veteran book buyer or want to start a new collection, we hope you’ll come out for the That BIG Book Sale and support the Friends.”
