Sandra Shapiro was named the 2010 Friend of the Year at the National Library Week open house in April. Sandra has been a long-time book sale volunteer, where her past experience working in a bookstore has really come in handy. She gave over 130 hours last year to library volunteer projects. Sandra has also shared her eye for style and beauty with us each year when she helps decorate the library for the holidays. Congratulations to Sandra on a well deserved award!
Library Bookbags : Made eco-Friendly by the Friends!
Go Green at the Chelsea District Library with our beautiful eco-friendly reusable bookbags, brought to you by the Friends of the Chelsea District Library.
New library bookbags are for sale at the library and at Mission Marketplace for $9 each, or two for $15. The bags are a natural color with teal and orange writing and are made of recycled material.
All proceeds from the sale of the bags go to support the library and its programs.
The next Friends of Chelsea District Library used book sale will be held Saturday, July 10th, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in the McKune Room. They will take place every other month in 2010. Donations of used books are currently being accepted at the library. The library accepts clean books, music, and movies in reasonable repair. Encyclopedias, textbooks or technical books older than five years, Reader's Digest condensed books, and issues of National Geographic are not accepted. All proceeds from the book sale go to support the library.
Ongoing sales happen daily on the Friendly Book Store shelves in the library lobby, stocked with selected books for adults and children at great prices. For more information, contact Friends Book Sale Committee Chair Sharon Pignanelli at pignanelli.sharon9@gmail.com or call the library.
Beginning with the July 10 sale, all FRIENDS who have paid their 2010 dues are invited to a special PREVIEW of the sale on the previous day (Friday) from 4:30-5:30 PM. You can even join at the door, so become a FRIEND and avoid the Saturday rush!
