Spring is about to be sprung by the Friends of the Rochester Hills Public Library via the group’s seasonal used book sale running April 17-21. It all takes place at the upstairs used book sale room of the library at 500 Olde Towne Road in downtown Rochester.

What’s for sale? Chairperson Ann Gruenewald says: “again we have a large selection of history books, especially about World War II. Also lots of religion and children's books.”

Want more? Beside thousands of gently used books on many other topics, there will be DVDs, CDs, audio books, puzzles and games.
