YACHATS — Spring is blooming on the central Oregon coast, bringing with it three traditional events in Yachats for locals and visitors alike.

The first weekend of Oregon’s spring break for schools — Saturday and Sunday, March 22-23 — book lovers can browse bargains at the Friends of Yachats Library Book Sale. That same weekend, the Yachats Chamber of Commerce stages an arts and crafts fair.

A week later, March 29-30, the Yachats Ladies Club offers its Spring Bazaar and Bake Sale.

Quinton Smith Yachats residents and visitors get another chance this weekend to peruse shelves of books  during the Friends of Yachats Library book sale. 

The Friends of Yachats Library spring sale is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 22 and Sunday, March 23, in the basement of the Yachats Commons.

The sale will feature over 6,000 used books, ranging from mysteries and cookbooks to biographies, romances, travel, history and arts and crafts. Fiction and nonfiction works will be priced at $2; children’s books $1.

In addition, jigsaw puzzles will be offered at $5. Special works — signed copies, book sets and coffee table books — will be on sale for $10 and up.

Cash is appreciated; credit cards are welcome. Shoppers are urged to bring their own shopping bags to hold their bargains; cloth bags are no longer for sale.

Proceeds will support the Yachats Public Library’s new building, under construction on West Seventh Street. The old library on the site was demolished this month, and a larger building will be constructed by the end of the year.

Friends of Yachats Library is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. For more details, visit its website.

That same weekend, on the main floor of the Commons, the Yachats Chamber of Commerce is staging its traditional arts and crafts fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

About 40 vendors will be showcasing their wares, in categories including art, handcrafted jewelry, leatherwork, homemade soaps,  woodwork and more. The fair is the 53rd annual, and sponsorship by the Yachats Chamber of Commerce means free admission for all. For more information, visit the chamber’s website.

There is a suggested donation of $10 per person for its college scholarship and community grants.

Bazaar & bake sale

Another spring tradition, the Yachats Ladies Club Spring Bazaar and Bake Sale will fill the group’s clubhouse at 286 W. Third St. with a wealth of handmade items and tasty treats on Saturday, March 29 and Sunday, March 30.
