In a nutshell
The community is invited to browse and buy during the sale, and there is no admission fee, said Dona Dye, outreach coordinator for Friends of the Bastrop Library.
"Proceeds from this sale go directly to our library efforts, such as the Summer Reading program and our scholarship program," Dye said. "We will be awarding two $1,000 scholarships to local seniors this year."
