Our big summer book sale on the library lawn will take place Saturday, June 21 from 9:00am to 3:30pm. There will be over 300 boxes worth of books on all subjects displayed. Huge sections of fine art, history, cooking, fiction and children’s books. Over 30 categories including oldies, reference, sets, CDs and DVDs. It’s a very old-fashioned sale, sheltered by an enormous deciduous oak tree– so buyers can be warm and cool at the same time on a hot day. Everyone will be there to gather up some great summer reading and to visit with friends and neighbors. Pop on down to join the fun! Proceeds benefit programs for children and adults at our 3 library branches, from our summer reading program for kids to the art lecture series for adults. We do need more help, yes! Early risers might help us set up between 7:00 and 9:00 while others may prefer helping us pack up from 3:30 to 5:00. Want to help?  Contact Tom Koerber at 415.485.3104 to leave your contact information.  You will meet book lovers and enjoy a fast-paced but moderate workout.  Join us for some fun!
