Friends Of South Park Library Break Own Book Sale Record
Dear Editor;
The Friends wish to thank all, who participated in some way in their April 20, 21, 22 book sale. This includes book sorters, Wed/Thurs. set-up people, Public Works, library staff, donors of sale items, check-out table workers, Interact high school students and clean-up crew.
This sale broke all kinds of past sale records. Each day sales were higher than any previous years. The Friends couldn’t have done it without all of above help each and every time.
Thanks to those who also donated a bit extra here and there, when they purchased sale items. The Friends made over $7,000 at their sale, their biggest sale EVER in their almost 50 year history of raising monies for the South Park Library. Each sale takes from 80-100 people to get it off the ground and make it work, successfully not once a year but twice a year in April and October. Their next sale is October 19, 20,21. More info on next sale will appear in August or September.
The Friends wish to thank all those avid readers, who still believe in holding books in their hands and not relying on devices to read a book. “They want the real thing”. Friends hope everyone enjoys their purchases, Thanks for coming far and wide to our sale and making it so successful.
Sincerely,
Cathie Humphreys, and Cheryl Cooney - Friends Co-Presidents
Maureen Humes and Colleen Moses - Book Sale Coordinators
