To assist shoppers, the sale has expanded its space by adding an extra room on Wednesday and Thursday to display puzzles, DVDs, CDs, books, and sets of higher value.

The sale includes thousands of books and something for everyone, from children’s books to nonfiction divided into subject areas, fiction, DVDs, CDs, and puzzles. Most items are 50 cents to $1 with puzzles priced at $1-$5. Books of higher value are priced at a fraction of their worth. There will be a bag sale on Friday for $10 and Saturday for $5 for books, movies, and music. Books of value will be 50 percent off.

SPARTA awards two scholarships endowed through the Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin and profits fund grants to nonprofit groups or organizations in Portage County that directly impact students’ and seniors’ lives.
