There will also be a Large Print, Christian Fiction, and kids/youth section to make perusing easier.

(b) FREE raffle chance: Youngsville Library is offering a FREE raffle ticket – for a chance to win a $50 Amazon Gift card – to any Warren County patron who stops in during their Book Sale on Saturday, Sept 7th from 10 am – 4 pm and shows their current countywide library card to the circulation desk! Don’t have a library card or your card is missing? You can still get a FREE chance at a $50 Amazon Gift Card too. Just be sure to bring a photo ID (with your current address) to the circulation desk and we’ll either reissue a card (if your card is lost) or register you for a brand-new library card.

“It is only a few minutes at the circulation desk to check your current library account status or to get a ‘new card registration’ underway,” stated Library Director Kristy Wallace. “Plus the best part is that while the circulation desk is working on your library card status, you can look through our Book Sale items or enjoy a Smith’s hot dog with Texas Hot sauce while you wait.”

Wallace continued “During our Annual Fall one-day Book Sale the Library is also open for regular patron services which include public computer use, free wi-fi access, faxing, copies, and checkout of physical materials too. But if you can’t make it this Saturday, the FREE Amazon Gift Card raffle opportunity is being extended to Friday, Sept. 13th.”
