PITTSBURG, Kan. — In place of the large, indoor book sale typically held over Labor Day weekend as part of Little Balkans Days, the Friends of Pittsburg Public Library has announced that this year they will instead hold two mini outdoor book sales in the library courtyard as a way to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Those sales will be held on September 18 and October 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be a variety of gently used books for sale in genres including but not limited to children's, mystery, romance, fiction, non-fiction, travel, cooking, how-to, and more.
