I got this email from Katherine Mielke about upcoming events at the Newport Beach Public Library.

If you’re not familiar with this library, it’s really beautiful. And a library card here is free for any California resident.

I used to drive here from Laguna Beach just to use their amazing collection of audiobooks for my daily commute.

From Katherine:

“There’s no better deal the Newport Beach Public Library.  Free to use:  Books, DVDs, audio books (CD sets or downloadable from the website), magazines, etc. plus lots of free events or “cheap dates” as you call them.  Here’s what we have coming up . . .

Friends of the Library Book Sale, Central Library, 1000 Avocado Avenue, Newport Beach
This is an incredibly good deal!  The Friends of the Library Book Sales are held four times a year and generate a substantial amount of money that is donated to the library to fund programs and materials.  It is one of the reasons the Newport Beach Public Library is able to present so many free programs for children and adults. Tons of great books for cheap, cheap, cheap!  A buck a bag!
Friday, November 6, 1pm- 4 pm -  Opening day is for members of the Friends of the Library - worth joining just for this perk!
Saturday, November 7,  9am - 2pm - Open to the public
