Spring Book Donation Day Set For April 27 At C.H. Booth Library
Spring Book Donation Day, sponsored by the Friends of the C.H. Booth Library, is set for Sunday April 27 — rain, snow or shine — from noon to 5 pm in the rear parking lot of C.H. Booth Library, 25 Main Street.
Volunteers will be on hand to unload donors’ vehicles and to provide tax receipts.
In addition to new and gently-used books, the Friends welcomes good-condition DVDs, CDs, LPs, video games, and complete jigsaw puzzles. Books of antiquarian interest are also appreciated.
The Friends cannot accept multi-volume encyclopedias, Time-Life Series and Reader’s Digest books, VHS tapes; outdated reference books, text books, travel guides, magazines or free publications.
These donated items enable the Friends to raise money for the library at the annual summer book sale, this year scheduled for July 11-15 at Reed Intermediate School; the Holiday Sale held in early December in the library’s downstairs meeting room; and year-round at the Friends-operated Little Book Store, near the main circulation desk on the second floor of the library.
Donation Day Coordinator Denise Kaiser says Spring Book Donation Day “offers you the perfect opportunity to de-clutter your house of books that you no longer want and to put them to work for a worthy cause.
“Just pack them in bags or boxes you don’t need back, load your vehicle, and our volunteers will unload them for you in the parking lot,” she added.
For those who cannot get to the library on April 27, donations are also accepted in the Friends’ Donation Room, opposite the elevator on the Booth Library’s first floor anytime the library is open.
