Settle down after the busy summer season with books (and more) purchased at the Raleigh City Museum’s fifth annual “Back From the Beach” Fall Used Book Sale. The Used Book Sale begins Wednesday, September 13 and concludes Wednesday, September 20. The hours coincide with the museum’s regular public hours (Tuesdays-Fridays, 10 am to 4pm, Saturdays 1 to 4pm, closed Sundays and Mondays). The sale will feature hundreds of donated books from children’s titles to general fiction, biographies and non-fiction. Also available will be a limited supply of donated videos, CDs, DVDs and cassette tapes. Hard backs will sell for $3 and paperbacks for $1, and all proceeds will benefit the museum and its educational programs. The museum will be accepting donated items for the sale through Saturday, September 9 at the reception desk during regular public hours.

“Raleigh Sports Memories.” Saturday, September 30 at 2 p.m. Using the new exhibit "The Thrill of Victory: Sports & Recreation in Raleigh" as a backdrop, Museum Educator Ken Peters will moderate an open forum discussion that recalls visitors' sports memories in Raleigh. If you used to watch the Capitals play at Devereux Meadow Baseball Park or remember the Dixie Classic basketball tournament, you will want to join us this afternoon!
