Our Board voted this week to hold no sales during 2020, so we will not be rescheduling our Summer Sale and will not hold a sale in December. So sorry that we can't brighten your summer with a new supply of books, but the safety of our patrons and volunteers is our biggest concern. Our next sale will be in June of 2021, the week before Heritage Days (which has not yet been scheduled).

We are not accepting donations of books just now, both due to the virus and the lack of storage space. If you have fabulous used books for us, you could mention it at the circulation desk and we'll try to make room. If you have boxes of books that have been in your garage for years, please put them in the Paper Gator in the upper parking lot. We do get money from those, too.

Thanks for your patience as we work through things -- 🙂

So sorry -- the Book Sale will not go on as hoped this week. We will meet on July 13 to consider when or if we can have a sale this summer and will be sure to post the decision.

We're all hoping we'll be able to hold our Annual Used Book Sale this year. Tentative dates are June 24 - 27. Stay tuned for updates!😀
