Friends of the Library Spring Book Sale, Help.


Dear Friends, Members and Supporters,

Our official Friends of the Lake Worth Library Spring Book Sale takes place on Saturday, April 20 in the Cultural Plaza across from the library from 10:00 am till 4:00 pm. In addition to this, the Library Staff is having a "Mini Book Sale" on April 13 during Earth Day. I know it is confusing. But we will have many many more books at our official bigger Spring Book Sale n April 20.

In the Plaza on the same day as our "Official Friends of the Library Book Sale" (April 20), the Rotary Club is having a music festival. Whenever we have our book sales with them in the Plaza, we sell lots more books. Come on over, buy books, browse and enjoy the country music.

On Friday, April 19, we need volunteers to help sort books and put them on our rolling bookshelves in preparation for our book sale. This takes two hours - from 1 till 3 pm. It is a chance for volunteers to preview what will be for sale and purchase early. We have an verload of books presently so we are NOT asking for donations of books, etc. We no longer accept donations of  tapes, video tapes and magazines because no one buys them.

We badly need a couple of strong people to help us set up before the sale on Saturday morning (April 20) from 9 - 10 (only one hour) and two more strong people to help put away book shelves and a couple of tables at 4:00 or 4:30 at the end of the sale.

Please. We desperately need volunteers to help us with our book sale and sorting.  On Saturday we have easy two-hour shifts for cashiering or for greeting, hosting and assisting our clients. All of the  money we raise (every penny) is donated to the library for items they need, projects for adults, teens and kids  and children's activities. Won't you please come and help us with this worthy cause? Our library keeps having big budget cuts. Let's support our library and keep it's services going. .

Our library needs your help. I need your help. This is the 19th book sale which I have been chairman of during the past six and a half years (even with accident injures, crutches and broken arms, I still worked at the book sales and sorted books as chairman). . Each time we have fewer and fewer volunteers, even though we ask for only two hours of your time.We have a few loyal members who work at our book sales and have done this for even more years than I have. And we have two new members who help. But we need more workers.

If you want to volunteer, please call me at (561) 586-7136) or e-mail me at juneevans2000@yahoo.com. PLEASE NOT NOT VOLUNTEER AT THE LIBRARY. YOU NEED TO GET DIRECTLY IN TOUCH WITH ME. I HAVE THE SCHEDULE AND I  KNOW WHEN YOU ARE NEEDED. Otherwise we end up with no one to work shifts when needed the most. So please call ME or e-mail ME.

Thank you for supporting our library and our book sales.
Best Regards,
June   June Evans, President, Friends of the Lake Worth Library
