To the Editor:

This was a most memorable sale in many ways. Thanks to the wonderful response of the community to our needs after  hurricane Irene, we had more books than we’ve had in years. We are grateful to everyone who so generously came to our rescue. More than 115 volunteers from the alumnae of both colleges as well as community friends turned out to unpack, price, and sort the books and then to help the thousands who came to buy them. But for all this, the sale would not have been ready in time without the help of the high school volunteers from Stuart Country Day School and from the Lawrenceville School who worked day by day beside us for the two weeks of preparation and during the sale. They were remarkable in their dedication and commitment. As always, the staff of our host, Princeton Day School, smoothed the way for us and were there to provide for every emergency. Thank you everyone, and remember — keep on donating.
