The Friends of the Library parking lot book sales will return. They are seeking books to sell.
The temporary Palisades library has reopened, and the Friends of the Palisades Library are excited to announce that once again they will begin again accepting donations of gently used books.
Friends of the Library are asking for donations of gently-read books starting on Wednesday, March 25, and every Saturday and Wednesday through May 16.
Volunteers will be accepting books from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. INSIDE the community building (the building to the right of the temporary library), at 861 Alma Real.
Books may be donated on Wednesdays and Saturdays on the following days. Wednesday, March 25, April 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 and May 6, and 13. Saturday’s book collection will take place March 28, April 4, 11, 18, 25 and May 2, 9 and 16.
Only books that are good to excellent condition can be accepted. We cannot take any books that have been in homes directly adjacent to burn areas because we cannot resell smoke-damaged books.
Books should not be written-in or highlighted. We also cannot accept books with torn pages, loose binding, mildew, mold or foxing (age-related brownish or reddish spots and specks that appear on paper).
No magazines, textbooks, CDs, DVDs, encyclopedias or library books will be accepted.
As a reminder, please do NOT leave book donations at the library at times other than when Friends’ volunteers are present.
The all-volunteer organization looks forward to building the stacks back up after all books was lost in the fire. “We cannot wait to bring the beloved book sales back to the community,” members said. “Our work in the community would not be possible without members and volunteers.”
