We collect books & exhibit catalogues received as gifts or weeded from the
Library for an annual book sale during our annual art fair. Numerous local
organizations & nearby neighborhoods have sales as well that day that
everyone seems to view the day as one huge "garage sale"! We sort by a few
value levels & color code with large colored stickers. Anything leftover
goes for 1/2 price the following few weeks. Our schools December Holiday
Sale is also utlized occasionally if we've had numerous "like new"
donations, as these books make good gifts for college students. Have fun &
utilize volunteers to sort, etc. Sincerely,
Rebecca D. Steel, Librarian
