In 2007, friends from throughout the area donated about 50,000 books for the sale, which raised over $30,000 for Friends projects. Volunteers donate their time throughout the year to make it possible. They sort and pack books according to subjects, move books to a storage facility, and move them again to the sale site. Others prepare the site.


The Friends need volunteers to move boxes of books and to assist during the sale. For more information go to volunteers.
