The Fall Book Sale of surplus library books and films will take place in the Southern Oregon University, Hannon Library. The sale begins on Wednesday, November 15, and will continue through the weekend.

With incredible pricing and a variety of topics – most books are initially priced at $2.00 for hardcover and $1.00 for paperbound books. A few books of exceptional value will be individually priced. Cash or check only, please. Prices will be reduced throughout the weekend, but don’t miss opening day to have the choice picks!

There will be some great buys in time for holiday reading, and the sale will earn revenue for buying new books. Students, faculty, staff, and community members are encouraged to check out Hannon Library’s Fall Book Sale to find that special book for yourself or someone else.

Join us for the Sixth Annual Ashland Literary Arts Festival on Saturday, October 28, from 10 am to 4 pm.

This year’s festival explores independent story and thought throughout the entire  Cascadia region, celebrating not only books, but all forms of expression: literature, poetry, journalism, art, lyrics, comics, film, and documentary.

The event will include a wide range of activities for everyone to enjoy—writing workshops, author readings, film viewings, storytelling and crafts for children, and even a Wonder Woman costume contest!
