Fall for Library Sale
To the Editor:
The leaves are changing colors and there is a chill in the air, and that can only mean one thing … it is time to mark your calendars for the fall Friends of Swarthmore Public Library Book & Bake Sale! This year the fall sale is on November 7, 8 and 9, and features a huge array of excellent books, movies, music, sheet music, and puzzles that will satisfy a wide spectrum of interests and age groups. A large and varied array of delicious home-made baked goods will also be available for sale. All proceeds from the sale support the superb programs, museum passes, and expansive collection of Swarthmore Public Library (one of the largest collections in Delaware County for a library of its size!).
The Book & Bake Sale hours are Thursday, November 7, 9 a.m. until 7 p.m.; Friday, November 8, 9 a.m. until 7 p.m.; and Saturday, November 9, 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Friday is Half-Price Day (non-edibles only). Saturday is Bag Day, with most books costing $5 per bag, and rare and boutique books costing $20 per bag. The sale takes place at Swarthmore Borough Hall, 121 Park Avenue in Swarthmore.
We have a current need for volunteers to clerk at the sale and help with other tasks. We also need bakers for the bake sale. To volunteer, please sign up directly at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0544ABAF28A5F94-fall, or sign up at the library.
For further information, please email your question(s) to foswpl@gmail.com or call Betty Dowling at 484-355-2076. We hope to see the community turn out in force to enjoy a great Book & Bake Sale that supports our beloved library!
