| Only Four More Book Sales at Terman |
|
Because the Palo Alto School District will begin
remodeling the Terman site in September, in preparation for a middle school in Fall
2003, there will be only four more monthly sales in our present book sale space.
We had hoped to relocate to space offered by the City of Palo Alto at the
Cubberley Community Center, but that offer has been withdrawn. We
are therefore looking for other suitable space in Palo Alto to continue
the sales from. If you know of such space, please contact us at info@friendspaloaltolib.org
or call our book room at (650) 493-7432.
