BOOK SALES
The widely popular CFOL members-only used book sale takes place this month on Friday, March 3 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm in the Chico branch library conference room. Sales to the general public are held Saturday mornings from 9:00 to 11:30 am. Take advantage of these opportunities to purchase gently used books, magazines, and other materials at greatly discounted prices. If you cannot attend the book sales, there are additional books for sale daily in the library’s lobby for a mere 50 cents per item.
SPREAD THE WORD — ONLY A FEW DAYS REMAIN TO REPLACE A LOST OR DAMAGED LIBRARY CARD FOR FREE
To celebrate the completion of the Chico branch addition of automated self check-in and self check-out equipment, replacement of lost or damaged library cards will be free through March 5. Use of your library card allows you to save time and increases efficiency when checking out your items, accessing your account, and using a library computer. Just bring a picture ID to the Circulation Desk to receive a new card.
