BOOK SALE

With our semi-annual books sale (Winterfest doesn't count!) only 4 weeks away we are in the final stages of sorting and organizing all of our donated books, movies, and music. We are still accepting donations and will be right up until the sale day. We would prefer to have your donations as soon as possible, though!

During the past few years we have done very well on our book sales thanks to the generosity of both donors and those who shop. Our most valuable asset when it comes to these events, however, is our volunteers. We are lucky enough to have three dedicated men who handle virtually all of our donations, including discarding materials that are unsuitable for sale and scouting for items that can be used in our collections. Ken Manning, Bob Green, and Bob Cianci volunteer on a daily basis emptying out every item in our blue donation bin, sorting, classifying, boxing, and storing, and then during the week before the sale they move all of the books, movies, and other items from the book shed behind the library and into the community room. We also have several women who volunteer on a regular basis during the sales as cashiers and they do a great job as well!

Putting together and running a book sale is a huge task and definitely one that we could never do alone (or at all, without help!). We are a very lucky library to have such great people willing to give up their time to help us out!
