Join us in the Watkins Museum’s Community Room for a book sale! After completing the archives and research room renovation in 2022, staff conducted an inventory into the materials stored in those spaces. In that inventory we found duplicate copies of books already in the museum’s collections, and several books unrelated to Douglas County history.

The staff and board of the Watkins decided to remove these books from the collection to assure our resources are spent supporting materials that best fit the museum’s mission. All funds raised because of this book sale will go towards care of collections needs, including archival preservation materials.

Book Prices will vary in range of $1 or $2, $5, $10, and < $15.
