Spooktacular Deals at the Fall Book Sale!
Fill a bag up with great books, movies, and more for only $5 a bag! The Friends special three-day book sale only happens twice a year and Friends members have early access on Wednesday, October 23 at 1 p.m. Join now or at the door! The sale is open to the public beginning at 2 p.m.
Volunteers are needed for the fall book sale.
Putting on the sale is a huge undertaking and we need volunteers to help! Please consider signing up to work at the sale or help set it up.
Tuesday, October 22 at 9 a.m. we will set up the book sale rooms and we need some heavy lifters to help us move the many boxes of donated materials to the designated areas in the meeting room. We will provide a dolly, flat carts, and refreshments!
