| Special Book Bag Sale on August 11 |
|
Take advantage of super low prices on Sunday, August
11 from 11 am to 2 pm. Fill entire shopping bags with
books from our bargain room for just $2.00 a bag (we supply the bags
too). Come to the bargain room and adjacent patio at our usual
location next to the Terman Library at 661 Arastradero Road in Palo Alto.
We have been inundated with donations recently, so it should be a great sale.

Monthly Book Sale Desperately Looking
for a Home |
|
We greatly appreciate all the letters, e-mails, city council
attendance, and petition signing from the many hundreds of you who support
our monthly book sales. Two fine articles appeared recently about
the need for new space for the book sale in the Palo Alto Weekly and in
the San Jose
Mercury. In addition, we've given
the city council 650 signatures and the numerous comments of support from citizens during our petition drive.
But we have to push even harder, because we have not yet gotten word from
the city of suitable space past September. Please
e-mail the city council at city_council@city.palo-alto.ca.us, the Palo Alto
Weekly at readerwire@paweekly.com, and the Palo Alto Daily
News at news@paloaltodailynews.com
with your support for the book sales and
tell them how much the sales mean to you. The Friends of the Palo
Alto Library have held these sales for over 40 years, and it would be a
terrible tragedy
to stop now.
