KALISPELL – Friends of Flathead, an organization that aims to improve and enhance libraries in the Flathead Valley, held its annual book sale.<\/p>\n
The sale is their main fundraiser and takes place at the Kalispell Center Mall, where thousands of donated books and other media, such as DVDs, are sold for discounted prices.<\/p>\n
All of the proceeds go directly towards library programs that are not featured in their budget, such as children’s story hour.<\/p>\n
The large crowds prove that there is a need for the library in the Flathead Valley.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just shows us that there is really a need and a want for books and materials in our community. That people love reading, they love learning, and they support the library,” Friends of Flathead member Mellissa Wood told MTN. <\/p>\n
The book sale continues through the weekend. <\/p>\n
The event runs from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, with discounts available from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KALISPELL – Friends of Flathead, an organization that aims to improve and enhance libraries in the Flathead Valley,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":168927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[223,88,70279,101477,14709,3326,101478],"class_list":["post-168926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-books","tag-books","tag-entertainment","tag-flathead","tag-friends-of-flathead","tag-kalispell","tag-montana","tag-salute-to-service"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
