Got a hankering to learn Mandarin? Or brush up on your Spanish? Those and other languages are the subjects of a “World Languages Book Sale” from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Redmond Regional Library (15990 N.E. 85th St.).

The used book sale will feature hundreds of books in a variety of languages including French, Japanese, Korean and Russian, among others.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Redmond Library, proceeds will go to help support the dozens of library programs funded by the Friends, especially the World Language Story Times held at the library.

“The Redmond library can offer many programs beyond what’s budgeted by the library system because of funds raised by the Friends throughout the year,” says Friends President Marcela Vodall. “So anyone buying books at the languages sale or at our regular spot in the library is not only helping themselves but the greater community.”

Credit cards cannot be accepted, but cash or checks are welcome.
