The Friends of ‘Aiea Library will be holding a book sale from 9 AM to 2 PM at the Aiea Library. Tell all your friends and family to come down to buy some really cheap (but high quality) books (and other media, including DVDs and vinyl records)! As usual, proceeds from the sale will go toward supporting the ‘Aiea Library’s programs. Mahalo to Karen for her hard work in putting these book sales together!
