Book And Bake Sale
The Library Book and Bake Sale is coming soon. August 23 is the day for one of our biggest fundraisers. We can accept baked goods on the morning of the sale, and we can accept books only when the Library is open. Sadly, when some people left books on the porch, they were damaged by rain. We are looking for donations of gently used books in good condition. We regret to have to say we cannot accept damaged, moldy or mildewed items nor can we accept textbooks, encyclopedias or technical books. These items will not sell and moldy items are a threat not only to our employees’ and volunteers’ health but also to our book collection. We no longer hold a boutique sale; we have returned to our tried-and-true Book and Bake Sale. Hope to see you there!
