LIMERICK, PA — Discarded library books can be treasures, and visitors to Limerick Chapel's gym next week can take home their picks from among thousands of used books, many for only 25 cents.

Books will included used fiction, non-fiction, reference works, literature and other discarded library books. The sale is happening at 378 W.

On Tuesday and Thursday the sale will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Other weekdays, the hours are 4-7 p.m. The sale will be on all day Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and books will be only 10 cents on that, the final day.

Visitors should follow the signs and enter through the side door of the gym, and are asked to observe social distancing while at the book sale.
