The Friends of the C.H. Booth Library announce the annual temporary Donations Pause, scheduled this year from Monday, June 24, to Sunday, July 21.

During this period, the Friends will not accept any items: books, games, puzzles, media, etc. Donations dropped at the library for the Friends during this four-week period will be discarded.

This hiatus will allow Friends volunteers to prepare for the upcoming book sale from July 12-July 16 at Reed Intermediate School.

The Friends will again welcome donations starting Monday, July 22.

Book Sale Chair Denise Kaiser says she and others “thank our generous donors for observing the pause and allowing us to focus our efforts on bringing you the best 48th book sale possible.

“We hope to see you at the sale and then back in our Donation Room after July 21.”
