Adjournment

Well, the Summer book sale on 8-12 August went well. We generated $465 to assist the library with their cultural and youth activities. The Friends helped the library staff set out the books beforehand and put them away afterwards, the regular staff collected the money at the normal checkout counter. Thanks to all concerned, including those that purchased books, tapes and CDs. As happened after the last book sale, boxes of unsold books (50 this time) were recycled through “Better World Books”, an online for-profit bookseller of used and new books, where they will hopefully go to new readers. Unfortunately they don't take cassettes, videotapes or music CDs so these will eventually go to the landfill if no recycling method can be found.

The Feb/Mar book sale went well. The Friends deposited $730 in book sale proceeds, and that includes everything sold from the ongoing sale wall after January 26 as well as everything from the actual sale at the beginning of March. Thanks to everyone who participated, especially the Teen Friends who performed the sorting  and boxing up for recycling.

A new event is being introduced on 14th April at Spearfish City Park, beginning at 9 am. This is the first Annual 5k and Family Fun Day. Registration can be done from the Library site noted below.
