Saturday, May 18

(12:00 PM-5:00 PM)
Location: Downtown Branch

The Friends will hold their Spring Book Sale on May 18th of this year! From 12 until 5 p.m., we will be selling bargain-priced books; from great bestsellers to books on outdoor adventures, from cooking and gardening to science fiction and fantasy. Even vintage and collectible books! While you’re here you can enjoy a special visit from Penny Ice Creamery and Pleasure Pizza, or look at local contributions to the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History for their latest Pop-Up Museum. Feel free to contribute your own piece for the Pop-Up Museum by creating an Altered Book, whether it be painted, sculpted, collaged, or crafted – just be creative! The event starts at noon at the parking lot outside the Downtown Public Library (224 Church Street). Bring the whole family and enjoy what our community has to offer.
