Organizers in Dubois County are preparing for the monthly book sale on Saturday, Nov. 8, providing residents with an opportunity to purchase low-cost reading material, music books, and media. The sale will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and a members-only preview will be held Friday, Nov. 7, from 3:30–4:30 p.m.

This month’s event highlights a major reorganization of sale sections meant to streamline browsing and improve visibility of genres. In addition to a broad selection of fiction and nonfiction titles, the sale will feature children's items, music books, holiday books, CDs and DVDs. Organizers report that recent large donations have substantially increased the inventory available to the public.

For shoppers looking for steep discounts, organizers are offering clearance bags of purged titles priced at $1 for a plastic bag and $2 for a grocery bag. The clearance approach can help residents stretch limited budgets while clearing space for new donations, and offers a practical option for holiday shopping or expanding home libraries affordably.

The sale holds local significance beyond bargains. Affordable access to books and media supports literacy, lifelong learning and entertainment options for families and individuals who may lack convenient access to retail alternatives. In Dubois County, where public resources and retail options can be limited in rural areas, community sales such as this one act as informal hubs for sharing materials and strengthening social connections.

The members-only preview indicates an organized volunteer base behind the sale and offers early access for supporters, but the event also maintains an open session for the wider public on Saturday. That structure balances membership benefits with community-wide access, though it also underscores the importance of making sure low-cost materials remain reachable to all residents.

Organizers are encouraging residents to attend and make use of the expanded inventory and clearance pricing. The timing of the sale—early November—also provides a chance for shoppers to pick up holiday titles and gifts well ahead of seasonal demand.

While the precise location and entry details were provided by local organizers, residents seeking additional logistical information should check community bulletins or contact the group running the sale. For many in Dubois County, the monthly book sale is more than a bargain event; it is a recurring community resource that helps preserve access to reading, music and media for households across the county.
