Looking for a good book, a free raffle, or just an excuse to get out of the house? The Friends of the Belleview Library (FOBL) have you covered with two upcoming events packed with community spirit and bargain finds.
First up, on March 18, at 10 a.m., FOBL will hold its monthly meeting at the Belleview Public Library. But the real fun starts at 11 a.m. with an open house featuring local civic and nonprofit organizations. Groups like the City of Belleview, Senior Learners, Kenny’s Place, and the Belleview South Marion Historical Society will be on hand with informational tables. Expect free raffles, refreshments, and even a craft for kids—because nothing says “community engagement” like free snacks and a glue stick.
Then, on March 21 and 22, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the annual Spring Book Sale takes over the Book Nook at 6007 SE Earp Rd. With deals on everything from large-print novels to vinyl records, there’s something for every bookworm, music lover, and nostalgia enthusiast. Each day will feature different sales, and prices are set low enough to make your wallet breathe a sigh of relief. Just remember—no cards, no Venmo, no cryptocurrency. Cash or checks only, like the good old days.
Mark your calendars and get ready to snag some great reads, support local organizations, and maybe even win a raffle prize while you’re at it.
