To the Editor:

The Friends of the Princeton Public Library held another successful Annual Book Sale May 4-6. All the proceeds will help to expand the selection of books and other library materials, and support the library’s special programming.

This event depends on the collaboration of many people, and I would like to thank my colleagues at Princeton Public Library for their constant support and expertise.

The coordination of the sale was thanks to the hard work of our dedicated Friends who served on the Annual Sale Committee: Jane Nieman, Helen Heintz, Christa Smith, and Beth Heaney. It was a pleasure to work alongside such a devoted team.

Thanks to our wonderful volunteers who worked for months preparing for the sale, sorting and pricing thousands of books. Thanks also to those who cheerfully set up and dismantled the sale, and those who worked so tirelessly throughout the weekend, greeting and assisting customers with their purchases.

The Friends also operate a gently used bookstore that is open during library hours. The store is packed with books covering a wide range of topics at bargain prices, and is restocked daily. We are very grateful for the generous donations of books that we receive throughout the year from the Princeton community. To find out more about the bookstore and donating books, please go to www.princetonlibrary.org/booksales.

And last but not least, we truly appreciate all the booklovers in Princeton who once again came out to support our Library. Please check our website regularly for details of the next big sale!
