Call for Volunteers: Book Sale and Book Packing, October 31, 2009

Posted in Book Sale, Renovation at 12:25 pm by Administrator

The Friends of the Mount Pleasant Library will be packing up donations for delivery to Books Plus, the Library Store at the main branch of the DC Public Library on Saturday, October 31, 2009 and we would love to have some help.

There will be a book sale at the branch earlier in the day in a final attempt to get books into the hands of the community before they are packed for delivery. The Mount Pleasant Branch Library will close in January 2010 for expansion and renovation and all donated materials will need to be removed in anticipation of the branch closure.

The book sale is from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm and the book packing is from 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm. If you can volunteer for any part of the day, please respond to Richard Huffine at richardhuffine@yahoo.com.

If you can’t come help, plan to come by and shop. The Friends of the Mount Pleasant Library collects a fascinating array of books from the community it serves.

Also, there is an article in “Public Libraries” from March/April 2009 on “Marketing the Mount Pleasant Library to Transitory Residents.” The article is by Joseph Sikowitz and Ann Carlson Weeks both from the University of Maryland. The article is copyrighted so cannot be distributed broadly but is available at the branch if you’d like to read it.
