I'm sure all our county's book lovers already have the Republican Herald Used Book Sale on their calendars (July 26 -28) but, if you have any gently read books you'd like to get off your shelves, today is the last day to take them to the Republican Herald office (111 Mahantongo Street, Pottsville), your local Boyer's Markets in Frackville and Orwigsburg or the Republican Herald warehouse (201 Bull's Head Road, Pottsville). Get more information about attending the sale or donating books here.

Stop by Wednesday for a list of the many things happening around July 4th -- music, fireworks, parades and more!
