To the Editor:

On behalf of the staff and trustees of C.H. Booth Library, I’d like to take a moment to offer thanks to The Friends of the C.H. Booth Library for their annual book sale, which has become a cherished tradition. It is a monumental feat that requires months of planning, coordination, and hard work.

The sheer scale of the book sale is impressive, featuring thousands of books, puzzles, DVDs, and CDs meticulously sorted and displayed, providing something for everyone. From the latest bestsellers to beloved classics, the book sale offers a treasure trove for book enthusiasts. The success of this event is a reflection of the Friends’ dedication and organization. Each year, they rally volunteers, coordinate logistics, and ensure that every detail is attended to.

Their passion for supporting the library and enhancing its resources is evident in every aspect of the book sale. The Friends’ commitment goes beyond just organizing a sale; it is about fostering a sense of community and encouraging a love for reading.

Without the Friends of the C.H. Booth Library, our library would not be able to offer the wide array of programs and materials that benefit so many patrons. The funds raised from the book sale directly support library programs, from children’s story hours to adult learning workshops, and everything in between. These programs enrich the lives of our community members, providing opportunities for education, entertainment, and personal growth. The Friends’ dedication ensures that our library remains a vibrant and vital part of our community.

As we reflect on the success of this year’s book sale, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Friends of the C.H. Booth Library. Their hard work, passion, and organization have once again made a significant difference in our community. Let us celebrate their achievements and continue to support their efforts, knowing that the C.H. Booth Library thrives because of their unwavering dedication.

Thank you, Friends of the C.H. Booth Library, for all that you do. Your contributions are invaluable, and your success is truly a cause for celebration.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Nash

Director, C.H. Booth Library
