Our recent used book sale was another big success! Woo hoo!

Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who helped with setup, sales, and breakdown. We couldn’t have done it without you!

As always, thanks to Diane Decker, the book sale chairperson, who does a fantastic job leading the charge and handling a lot of moving parts.
