The Bluffton Public Library Teen Advisory Group (TAG) will kick off Library Lovers Month with a youth book sale Feb. 7-11. More than 1,000 "slightly or very loved" children's and teen books will be available by donation during regular library hours. "The library has had many book sales in the past which mostly consisted of books for adults," said Youth Services Coordinator, Rikki Steingass. "I think it's wonderful that this is the first book sale to focus on materials for youth because they love books just as much as grown-ups!"

The TAG and library staff will also be taking orders for the library's Carruth Garden Smiles Fundraiser from Feb.7 through March 18. Orders can be picked up at the library by April 18, just in time for those who would like to give them as gifts for Easter or Mother's Day.

Proceeds from both sales will be used to purchase new materials for the youth collections at the library.
