Cathy- Wholeheartedly missing the Saturday Book Sales and still perusing and purchasing books from the (2) small shelving units placed at the library - I've often wondered - what is the process by which items get culled from the donation bins and offered for sale at the library? The limited selection offered makes me wonder what is *not* being offered for sale back to the community. And- is there any process by which one might donate books thought to be of value and interest directly to FoLL - to perhaps even be sold at higher prices to increase monies for FoLL? Or is the effort required to do so thought to be too much for what is seen to be little potential financial gain? Supportive + Curious Michael Dembowski Conant Road
