Aptos Library, Saturday Nov. 15 | 10am to 3pm
Find wonderful gifts and great reads at the Aptos Library Friends Books & More Holiday Sale. You’ll discover an expanded selection of books — art and art history volumes, large picture books for children, poetry (including local poets), novels, CDs, and DVDs. The books are in excellent condition and priced so affordably. You’ll also find hand-fused glass created by a local artist, plus beautiful note cards and photo prints of scenes from a local photographer. And don’t miss the homemade baked treats donated by volunteers — they always sell out quickly. Whether you’re gift shopping or looking to treat yourself, there’s something for everyone.
