Raleigh City Museum Needs Used Books
For its "Back from the Beach" Fall Book Sale

RALEIGH, N.C. (July 29, 2003) - Settle down into the fall season with books (and more) purchased at the Raleigh City Museum's second-annual "Back From the Beach" Used Book Sale, running from September 3 to 6 in the museum's Main Gallery at 220 Fayetteville Street Mall. The sale will feature hundreds of donated books running from children's titles to romance novels, from general fiction to biographies and coffee table tomes. Also available will be a limited supply of donated videos, CDs, DVDs and cassette tapes. Most hardbacks will sell for $3 and paperbacks for $1, and all proceeds will benefit the museum and its educational programs.

To make this a successful event, the museum needs books! Boxed or bagged donations will be accepted at the museum's visitor desk during regulation business hours (Mon-Fri, 10am to 4pm, Saturdays 1 to 4pm) until August 30th. Any questions or special needs may be referred to Jared Mestler, Museum Services Coordinator, by phone at 832-3775 x12 or by email at jmestler@raleighcitymuseum.org.

A special invitation-only VIP preview sale will be held from 5-7pm on Tuesday, September 2 to kick off the book sale. The general public may purchase books from Wednesday, September 3 through Friday, September 5 between 10am-4pm, and again on Saturday, September 6 from 1-4pm. While all books will be bargain priced, look for "blowout" prices on the weekend date as an added incentive to buy.
