From Wednesday, Nov. 25 to Saturday, Nov. 28, Access 2 Books in Neepawa will be having a clearout sale. The bookstore was meant to be another source of income for Neepawa Access Television (NACTV), but it’s no longer making any money.

In addition to that, they have to move out of their current location soon, so it is no longer practical to keep the store open. 

So, to try and make some money and reduce their inventory before they close down, everything will be up for sale on those four days. It’s a BYOB (bring your own bag) affair, where customers can come and fill their bag with books and pay what they think the books are worth. There will be volunteers there each day to accept payments. Along with the books, the furnishings in the building will also be for sale. Items such as a fridge, table and the bookshelves will all be available. 

The idea of the sale is to get as much out of the building as possible so that it doesn’t go to waste. Ivan Traill, president and CEO of the NACTV board, said that he is trying to see if he can donate the leftover books to a book sale in Brandon.  Everything else that doesn’t go will have to be taken to the dump.

The sale will be from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm each day. Traill said that the board hopes to see lots of people come out to take advantage of the sale and stock up for their winter reading.
