"Book" some time for library sale

Another Library Book Sale is coming up on Lynn Valley Day weekend, which gives us a swell excuse to show you this great video from the last sale, filmed by local videographer John Durrant. We know it will make you want to come out to the library on May 25 to 27 to see what literary gems you can find!Meghan Radomske of the Friends of the Library - the group of library supporters who organize this twice-yearly event - said that last autumn's sale raised $4312.90!That money is earmarked for a new and improved reading lounge in the Lynn Valley Library. " will include a fantastic new curved display case featuring new books, movies, upcoming events at the library, and information about the Friends of the Library," Meghan told us. "More comfy chairs and cushions and more accessible computer stations will also be featured, particularly ones that can be lowered to accommodate people with disabilities.Books not sold at the library events are donated to a non-profit organization called Reading Tree, which provides books to disadvantaged families, schools, and libraries."Joining the Friends of the Library is a great way to support North Vancouver District Public Library and to volunteer in the community," said Meghan. Amongst their other duties, Friends members:

• advocate for library services and fundraise for library projects and resources.

• organize book-sales and other fundraisers.

• help at library events such as author talks and District Library Art Receptions.
