The Portage County Historical Society (PCHS) is excited to announce its inaugural Book Sale event, offering the public a unique opportunity to acquire items that are out of scope from PCHS's mission, duplicates, or gently worn materials.

 

The book sale is scheduled to take place from May 14th through the 16th at Firehouse No. 2 located at 1949 Strongs Avenue in Stevens Point and promises to be a treasure trove for book enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Attendees can browse through a diverse selection of books, including historical literature, fiction, non-fiction, and more.

 

"Over the past 72 years of our organization’s existence, we’ve accumulated thousands of books and magazines that fall outside the scope of our mission to share the stories of Portage County," said John Harry, Executive Director of the Portage County Historical Society. "This book sale will help us increase space for items that speak directly to our mission and add more funds for our artifact collection care needs and educational initiatives.”

 

The Portage County Historical Society's Book Sale will be held at Firehouse No. 2, located at 1949 Strongs Avenue, Stevens Point, on May 14th through the 16th, 2024, from 4 to 7 p.m. PCHS Members will enjoy exclusive early access at 3 p.m. on May 14th. Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend.

 

"This may be the only time we ever offer a sale like this on some fairly unique titles, some of which may be out of print," added Harry. "Whether you're a book collector, history enthusiast, or simply looking for your next great read, we hope you’ll come check out this massive selection.”
