If the good weather has given you an early start on your spring cleaning, don’t forget your books DVDs and paperbacks! The Friends of the Lynnfield Library is seeking used books for its spring sale on Lynnfield Day (formerly known as Geraniumfest), Saturday, May 17, 2013. The Library book sale will take place on the Lynnfield Common from 9 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. In case of inclement weather, it will move inside the library.
The Friends are seeking donations of small and large adult paperbacks, music CDs, teen selections, hardcovers and DVDs for this annual spring event. We particularly need children’s material this year! We cannot accept VHS tapes, textbooks, encyclopedias, Reader’s Digest Condensed collections or magazines.
Bring your boxed or bagged donations to the Library Circulation Desk or leave them in the library foyer. The library is accepting donations of materials right up until the sale. If dropping off the books is not possible for you, we offer home pick-ups. Call Friends’ Board member Alexis Gilbode at 781.608.4179 to arrange a time for pick up. She will be happy to provide a receipt for your donation.
“For over 50 years, the Friends have been donating substantial volunteer help and monetary funds to the library, which benefits the whole community,” said Friends’ President Janine Saldanha, “Our May and October book sales are a major source of revenue. Please keep this in mind when deciding where to donate your used books and please come to the book sale and help us help our wonderful library! Thank you.”
