Members of Friends of the LIbrary who volunteered at the last book sale.
“It’s time for another Friends of Palisades Library book sale!” wrote Friends of the Library’s Seem Wolsefer. The Friends of the Palisades Library will hold a book sale in the library parking lot from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 7, at 851 Alma Real.
This is an excellent chance to find a variety of books in pristine condition, priced to sell. At the last book sale, because the prices were so good, this editor came away, not only with books for herself but numerous children’s books for my friend’s grandchild.
“There will be a very large section for families with children and young adults,” Wolsefer said. “Bring your young readers! Stock up on all your books for the new school year.”
There will be contemporary fiction, mysteries, nonfiction, art books, cookbooks, special interest, children’s and young adult books. Cash and credit cards will be accepted.
Wolsefer explained that books have been generously donated by our community and have been received and sorted by volunteers.
“Books received that can’t be sold are donated to various worthy organizations including senior centers, prisons, active military personnel and other libraries,” she said, noting that proceeds from the sale help the Friends supplement library materials, host a variety of programs and classes, and provide special initiatives for youth creative writing and art.
If a resident joins the Friends of the Palisades Library at the September sale, he/she will receive a free Caffe Luxxe drink card and a voucher for a free book at the Friend’s patio bookstore.
