It doesn't happen too often - but once in a while we get a double! This month it's Jack London's Call of the Wild.

This book is a fictional adventure following Buck, a pampered California dog, when he is kidnapped and sold as a sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush.

Grab a copy from the ongoing book sale this month!

*The ongoing book sale is open any time the main library is open. All books are free-will donation - cash or PayPal - and all proceeds support the Gretna Public Library and its programming. See the Gretna Public Library's page for hours.

The last chance cart has been updated!

There is a lot of romance, plenty of thriller & mystery, and even some kids books!

Everything on this cart has been in our sale long enough that it's time to pass them on to somewhere they'll get more love - this is your last chance to grab them from us!

This cart is out front of the book sale room, near the main library entrance. Stop by anytime the main Gretna Public Library location is open and check it out!
