The annual Friends of the Library booksale was a resounding success! We made just under $5,200. We also raised a lot of attention about the new library building project. There were a couple of posterboards up with maps and information about the 9 proposed sites for the new building, as well as brochures with the same information. If you would like to see the posters, or pick up a brochure, please stop by the library.
We would like to thank everyone who donated books and everyone who bought books. We would especially like to thank everyone who helped make the sale happen: lugging boxes of books from the storage units to the mall, sorting thousands of books onto the right tables, staffing the cash table and answering questions, and dragging all the leftover books out to the recycle bins.
I would like to make a special note of the Teen Advisory Group. The TAG is a relatively new part of the library family (they began in June of this year), so this was their first time helping out with the book sale. We had about a dozen teens show up on Sunday afternoon to box up all the unwanted stuff, they hauled it all downstairs, and they picked up all the leftover trash. They were a great help, and we really appreciate their efforts.
Thanks again, everyone!
