We had over 50,000 volumes for sale, ranging from paperbacks to our new category "Select" (All books in great condition with dust jackets dated from 2000 to 2009) to "Old and Rare". Every room of the Parish Hall was filled with books!
We Love Our Volunteers!
We couldn’t have done it without our volunteers! We appreciate everyone’s work to help put on this event. Many thanks to those that donated books, sorted books all year long, unloaded the trailers, set up tables and books, worked a shift (or two!) at the sale or made food for the volunteers! Our volunteers are all dedicated, and you do not need to be a Church member to participate. No special skills are required, just a desire to participate and be a part of a very special event. We start back to work right after the book sale ends and we’re already collecting and sorting for the 51st Book Sale. You can drop your books off at the garage any time or join the sorters in the garage on Saturday mornings at 9am during the summer.
50 Years of Helping Others!
As always the proceeds from the book sale will benefit community organizations. A few of the organizations that received donations last year were Habitat for Humanity, Joseph’s House, HealthServ, Episcopal Prayer Breakfast at Weaver House, Freedom House, Pathways, Salvation Army, Samaritan’s Purse/Operation Christmas Child, What If Foundation and Mission Trips.
