Library preview tonight for Great Big Book Sale
Sale continues through Saturday

Ben and Peggy Lewis, now of Lindale, will celebrate 50 years of marriage on Sunday, April 27. Ben Dean Lewis of Advance, Mo., and Peggy Jo Powers of Troup were united in marriage on April 27, 1958 at the First Baptist Church of Troup. They have two children - daughter Vicki Jenkins and husband Andy of Flint and son Danny and wife Vickie of Whitehouse. They are also proud of their five grandchildren - Dexter and Tara Jenkins of Flint and Kevin, Casey and Summer Lewis of Whitehouse.

The Whitehouse Community Library is holding its Second Great Big Book Sale on April 24-26. The Preview Night will be Thursday from 6-9 p.m.

In order to attend Preview Night, you must buy a $5 ticket. Tickets are available at the library. You may make reservations and then pay for the tickets at the door by calling the library.

The purchase of a Preview Night ticket will allow library guests to enjoy hors d'oeuvres while shopping at the sale. But the best part of Preview Night is the chance to have first choice to purchase the books.

In addition to books, the sale also includes videocassettes, audiotapes, and other "stuff." All kinds of books and sets of books for young and old will also be available.

Books will again be sold this year for $1 an inch. What this means is that books are stacked flat and the height is measured. If your books stack up higher than an inch then the price is rounded up to the next dollar.

"We encourage shoppers to add another book so they receive full value for their money," said library director Sandra Knackstedt.
