Can you spare a little space?

The library can use a hand if you have a little extra space – Birgit explains:
HELP! The Friends of the San Juan Island Library needs a new site to sort and store donated books for our annual book sales.
Our former sorting and immediate storage area in the library basement was permanently damaged in last November’s flood and is no longer available to us. Because we have had to limit book donations, we are unable to hold our holiday book sale this year, and next year’s big summer sale is possibly in peril.
We need a centrally located, dry heated location where we can sort and pack books.
Unfortunately the rent for such commercially available spaces would consume the income from our sales. If anyone is willing to donate such a space for a tax deduction for the rental value, please contact Birgit Kriete at 378-3972 or Jan Smulovitz at 378-8983. The Friends of the Library is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
You can support the San Juan Update by doing business with our loyal advertisers, and by making a one-time contribution or a recurring donation.
