CALENDAR Whether you have a completely free summer, due to summer vacation, or you’ve just been spending a lot more time outside relaxing than usual, summer is defi- nitely one of the best times to pick up a new book and get some reading done. If you are looking for a new book to read, but don’t want to spend the money on a new new book, you’re in luck. The Downtown Eugene Public Li- brary is hosting a Summer Reading Book Sale on Satur- day. There will be thousands of gently used, popular nov- els and mysteries, and the best part is each book is only $1. The sale is a fundraiser ran by the volunteer Friends of Eugene Public Library with all proceeds going toward Eugene Public Library programs. Both parking and ad- mission are free, so there are no excuses for missing out on grabbing a few books for summer reading! The Summer Reading Book Sale is 10 am-4 pm on Sat- urday, July 8, at the Downtown Eugene Public Library. Admission for the event is FREE; each book costs $1. For more info, contact the library at 541-682-5450 or eu- gene-or.gov/library. — Meerah Powell Dance Empowered w/Cynthia Valentine continues. See Saturday.
