The Cortelyou Library Friends group is holding its annual book sale at the library (1305 Cortelyou Road) this Saturday, October 18 from 11am to 4pm, and there’s still time to donate your old tomes and help by volunteering.

They’ll continue accepting book donations through Friday — you may drop them off at the library when it’s open, and you can find the hours here.

They’re also in need of some extra hands either sorting books before the sale, setting up the morning of, selling, or cleaning up. If you can help, contact them at cortelyoulibraryfriends@gmail.com.
