Went to the North Port library to get my actual library card for Sarasota County. When I heard that this library with having a dollar book sale, and I work 2 doors down, I was all over it. However, I did not see the sign that said book sale this way, so I went to the regular shop and paid $35 for 9 books. However, I did look around the books I bought and walked around the book sale, where I ended up picking up 3 more books. The people that work there are very friendly, and the book sale was huge. This is a super beautiful library that was just rebuilt a few years ago so it's a very modern and clean. I highly recommend if you're in the Venice area and like books, and libraries, that you check out this Venice library. I kind of wish I still worked down the street just so I could visit this library again on lunch.
