Friends report: bookstore donations overflowing, trial sales planned
Summary
The Friends/Foundation reported a high volume of donated books and games; the board will trial selling select games for $1 to raise funds for library programs, with excess or unsellable items routed to Goodwill or other outlets.
A board member (S2) told colleagues the Friends’ bookstore is overflowing with donated materials and that volunteers have been weeding games and unsellable items. The group plans to trial offering some games for $1 to gauge community interest and generate modest revenue.
S2 described logistical options for disposing of unusable books, noting Penny often takes items to Goodwill and that other craft or reuse organizations accept worn materials. The board framed the bookstore as an ongoing source of program funding and asked staff to coordinate sales and donation-handling procedures.
