At their bookstore in the library’s lobby, the organization is offering special Christmas books and a holiday dollar cart, where many like-new books, including best-sellers, are available for $1.

For a reader who wants to keep track of a busy schedule, the Book Lover’s Calendar for 2015 would be perfect.

And the gift of a Friends’ membership is a gift that will give all year long, including a members-only first shot at the wide variety of books available. Memberships are $5 per year for individuals, $10 for families and $150 for lifetime memberships.

The bookstore, now known as Lela’s Place, is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday.
