Book Sale to Benefit the Library!
A collection of an estimated 1,300 books on New Mexico and the Southwest, donated from a private collection, will be offered for sale Oct 7th-8th to benefit the Española Public Library. Librarian Teddie Riehl said that most of the books are out of print first editions in very good condition and some are new. There will be a table of scarce New Mexico titles priced well below market price.
The sale will be conducted in the former Hunter Ford Motor Co. building located at 531 Paseo de Oñate. The sale will be on October 7th and 8th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is planned that the building will eventually be renovated for a new library. Ms. Riehl stated that she is familiar with the collection and knows that those interested in New Mexico & Southwest literature will walk away with treasures. The books are not library discards, but from a private collection.
The Rio Grande Sun is sponsoring and conducting the sale, but all proceeds will go to the Friends of the Española Public Library to beenfit the library, according to Riehl. “There is plenty of free and convenient parking in the former Hunter car lot. This is a wonderful opportunity for book lovers to build their Southwestern collection, and support our local library.”
