Guymon Library Announces Weekend Book Sale, Bargains for Residents

The City of Guymon used its live feed on November 17 to announce a three day book sale at the Guymon Public Library scheduled for November 20 through November 22 during normal library hours. The library posted specific pricing for the event, with hardcovers priced at one dollar, paperbacks at fifty cents, a fill a bag option for five dollars, and a final day sale with remaining items priced at half off. The post encouraged library patrons to stop by and support the sale.

For Texas County residents this event looks to be both a low cost source of books and a modest revenue opportunity for the library. The posted prices put many titles well below new retail costs, making the sale an accessible option for families, students, teachers and budget conscious readers who rely on low cost entertainment and learning resources. The fill a bag option in particular can reduce the per unit cost even further for households seeking to build a home library or supply classroom reading materials.

Book sales are a common method libraries use to clear donated inventory and generate funds for programming, supplies and community services. While the City post did not list a fundraising target or a specific use for revenue, the proceeds from sales like this typically support library operations, children's programs and acquisition of new materials. For a small rural library such revenues can be meaningful in supplementing the municipal budget and stretching limited public dollars.

Logistics are straightforward for patrons who plan to attend. The sale runs during the library's normal hours across the three scheduled days, and the most aggressive discounts will be available on the final day when remaining items are offered at half off. Organizers encouraged patrons to stop by, which suggests the sale is open to walk in traffic and will likely carry a mix of donated fiction, non fiction and children s titles common to community book sales.

Beyond immediate bargains, the event underscores ongoing community support for public services in Texas County. Affordable access to books supports literacy and lifelong learning, while small scale fundraising events help maintain local cultural infrastructure without large tax increases. Residents interested in low cost reading material or in supporting the library should plan a visit during the sale dates and check the library s posted hours for the most current information.
