The Friends of the Mesquite Public Library is gearing up to host its Spring Book Sale on May 16-17, offering a treasure trove of gently used books and DVDs spanning various genres. According to the City of Mesquite's official announcement, the selection will include everything from children's stories to cookbooks to popular movies.

Those looking to score some unique reads are invited to swing by the Mesquite Main Library, located at 300 W. Grubb Dr., where they'll not only find treasures but also support community programs and sustainability. In a move to encourage environmental stewardship, the event aims to keep second-hand books from ending up in landfills. Doors will open for the sale from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, May 16, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 17, as detailed on Mesquite's website.

The semi-annual sale benefits the Mesquite Public Library System by funding programs, services, and literacy incentives like free books and other prizes for young readers. Shoppers will be pleased to know that the sale will accept credit cards, cash, and checks, making it easy to snag a good deal on a wide array of items.
