The Seadrift Public Library held a book sale at the Port Lavaca Library branch from the 31st of January through February 4th, with all proceeds going to the Seadrift location.

Books were donated by local patrons and the material generated included everything from how-to manuals in business and computer programing to works of fiction from the likes of John Irving to Stephen King.

Janie Waghorne was one of the library workers from the Seadrift area present running the till during the sale: “It’s a great way for the Seadrift Library to make money (for future use in Seadrift). We are very thankful to the Port Lavaca branch for letting us use their facility as it is larger and (it’s size) allowed us to sell more books”

Patrons were, of course, there for the last day of the sale, which was the popular ‘Box Day’, during which all the books you could fit in a box cost you just five dollars.
