Another Disney Treat

Another beautiful book the Reston Friends have available for sale at the Children's and Young Adults Sale March 20-21 is this Snow White. It is a large folio of the story, with the original Disney illustrations. The tops of some of the pages show where formerly something was attached -- perhaps a script that someone read along as the story was recorded? We have no idea, but the attachment residue does not detract and invites delicious speculation.

This book is available for viewing by contacting Pam at the library. E-mail us or call the library at 703-689-2700 and leave a message!

Teasers for Children's Sale

The Children and Young Adult Sale is coming soon. Mark your calendars for March 20-21 during regular library hours in Meeting Room #2. This is a MINI-SALE, meaning don't expect the quantity of books we'll have for the Semi-Annual Used Sale in April!  However, these are the high quality culled books that fall into the categories of Children's, Young Adults and Teacher Materials.  We will NOT have Children's Books at the Semi-Annual Sale.


Most books will be less than $5, but there are a few special finds that we will have available for viewing and purchase. The photos show you why.  This is a Hardcover Cinderella book from 1950. The pumpkin is still intact, although fragile. The gilt paint on the pages is still shiny, and the book is an absolute treasure. If this tickles your fancy, e-mail us or call the library and leave a message for Pam in order to see it and discuss pricing.
