Book Sale
For over six decades St. Francis has hosted a spring used book sale, with the entire proceeds going to support community organizations. Since COVID, we have renovated our Book Garage and will now be holding our sales there. Although it is a smaller space, we intend to have a sale three to four times a year instead of only once. This will allow you several opportunities to shop for the books you are interested in. We will continue to have a quality selection of modern Fiction, Children’s, and Nonfiction books, as well as many cool items for our antiquarian collectors.
Our proceeds go directly back into the Greensboro community through our Outreach Ministry.
