Who?
All librarians and teachers are welcome, and we can’t wait to meet you! We are hoping to see members and non-members from Ohio and surrounding states (PA, WV, KY, IN MI, etc.) 
You are welcome to bring a friend or family member along, but please note that there will not be specific entertainment for kids.

What?
We are bringing back our in-person warehouse sale! In the past, warehouse sales have been very popular within the JLG community and are a great place to get major discounts on our books. At this event, you will be able to shop our legendary warehouse for award-winning children’s and young adult titles for as low as $5 per book.
Our warehouse is stocked with JLG Gold Standard Selections. These books are selected by our editorial team as high-quality, engaging pieces for young readers. At the warehouse sale, you will be able to choose first-edition, hardcover books directly from our shelves.
Mingle with fellow book lovers and library workers as you browse our warehouse during this behind-the-scenes experience.
There will also be food trucks on-site both days of the sale. Check back closer to the event for more details!

Where?
The sale will take place at:

   Junior Library Guild
   7858 Industrial Parkway
   Plain City, OH 43064

Parking is free, however, we have limited spots, so carpooling is encouraged!

When & Why?
Help us with our spring cleaning! We need to make space for new books, and you benefit.
The sale will take place Friday, April 22 from noon until 6:00 pm and Saturday, April 23 from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm.

How?
We will be practicing social distancing as much as possible during this event and ask that shoppers stay six feet apart. Masks will not be required.
During the event, books can be purchased with cash, card, or purchase order.
Check back soon for a parking map and map of the warehouse!

Tips & Tricks 

How to prepare
Before you arrive, it is helpful to know your budget and to secure your funding. You can also browse our online backlist now and make a wishlist!

Download a full inventory list here to browse available selections. This spreadsheet is sortable by title, JLG category, JLG release date, and more. Not familiar with our categories? Here's a key to make it easier.

Most importantly, make space in your vehicle for all of the beautiful books you will want to bring home!

What to wear
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. You may be walking or standing longer than expected. You may want to wear layers as it may be cooler or warmer than expected during this time of year.

What to bring
We recommend bringing a shopping list to help stay organized. Sticky notes and pens or pencils can be helpful to check off your list, label piles of books, write down questions, or share contact info with fellow shoppers. Tote bags, portable carts, and crates can be helpful as well.

We allow outside drinks; however, they must be in closed containers. We all know that liquids can be one of books' worst enemies!

What to expect
Books, books, and more books! We will also have giveaways and Wi-Fi available. To keep things as safe as possible, we will provide hand sanitizer at the event.

We will have a limited number of wheeled carts, as well as plenty of boxes to pack your books at checkout. All purchases will come with an itemized receipt.

There will be three private bathrooms at the event. JLG staff will also be on hand ready to help with anything you may need.
