However, it does require some bookkeeping. My question is, who's doing the bookkeeping-- the Friends or the Library staff? I don't think any of us begrudge the dollars to sales tax, it's the time involved in keeping track and submitting the money versus the amount of money we might make.   Our Friends have a pretty successful booksale once a year (last year was around $20,000). It's four days over the Labor Day weekend, and they pay sales tax on the last two days. But, that's only one time that they have to keep track of it. My other concern is whether they would have the huge successful booksale once a year if we were bleeding off donations year round. Those of you who do both, what is your experience?   Judy
