March Book Sale a Success Despite Weather Challenges
Book donations were slow for the first week of collecting, but they picked up toward sale days maybe because everyone started their spring cleaning early because they were snow bound.
Several new categories*** were added in the Children’s section and we had so many hard cover Mystery Book donations we had to put them in 2 locations! As usual, we carefully selected books that are current and in good condition. Our prices have changed slightly, (lower!)
***(See full list of categories below.)
The special preview hour on Saturday, March 21st, 9:00-10:00am had customers lining up at 8:00am in the snow so we let them into the library to keep warm. In order to serve our audience who work during the day, on Monday, March 23rd (all books free!), the Community Room remained open until the Library closed at 8:00pm.
Our next book sale is scheduled for September but we asubject to the needs of the upcoming upgrading to ADA compliance of the Library so look for more news as the schedule is approved and unfolds.
