You can help
Volunteers make the sale possible. We need and appreciate your help with set-up (Monday, May 13 to Wednesday, May 15), the sale itself (Thursday, the 16th to Saturday, the 18th) to clean-up (the morning of Monday, May 20). Please call Katie Allnutt at (971) 322-7933 to schedule your preferred job and time slot. Volunteers get two free books of their choice for each shift.
Dealer alert: Friends volunteers have screened book donations and library discards and removed some of them for sale online.
