Friends of the Library Book sale The Friends of the Library, who make a significant annual contribution every year to the Library for the purchase of books and materials, will be holding their Book Sale, the event that raises the money for their contribution, on August 19, 20 and 21 this year. This event, one of the major literary happenings on the Peninsula, is made up of acres of books, all carefully sorted and classified for easy searching, at wonderful prices. This year the event has moved to a new venue: the Junipero Serra School Gymnasium on Rio Road, adjacent to Larson Field. No true book lover can afford to miss this! |
