Grace Episcopal Church, 4101 S. Hazel St., will host a used book sale from 7 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 15.
The sale will be open to the public. Books of all kinds and for all ages will be available.
The sale is held every year in order to support The Church Periodical Club, which is a nation wide Episcopal institution. This ministry is to supply books, magazines, tapes, videos and computer programs free to those who cannot otherwise obtain them.
“It was founded in 1888 by Mary Ann Drake Fargo, who was the wife of a member of the Wells-Fargo Express firm,” according to a press release. “She and her friends in the Church of the Holy Communion, New York, sent their bundles of books and periodicals westward to missionaries and pioneers via stagecoach.”
The book sale will be held in Brown Hall, at the rear of the complex. (Follow the driveway around to the rear parking lot.) The sale is held on the inside, so rain or shine, the event will be held.
For other times to purchase books, contact Grace Episcopal Church, Tuesday through Thursday afternoons, 535-3852.
