Friends of the Bowen Island Library (F.O.B.I.L.S.), are now working diligently on plans for this year’s book sale. The glitch in having no place to sort has been temporarily solved and book sorters are again busy sorting and boxing donated books in preparation for the big sale in May.
This year for the first time Book Fest will be held over a three day period. Saturday, May 16, Sunday, May 17 and then on the holiday Monday a big surprize for Bowen Island book lovers, details of which will be revealed at another time, wait for it!
The Friends would like to express our grateful appreciation to Glenn Cormier of the Bowen Island Pub who has very generously donated space for us to store our boxed books that are ready for the sale. This space is crucial to the smooth running of the sale, so Glenn gets major brownie points for this.
We are still accepting donated books for the sale. Drop off at the library during their open hours. Please remember no magazines, no encyclopedia or text books just books in good condition. We also accept music cds and dvds.
Thank you to all who have been generous and helpful during our trials. Keep the books coming and remember the Mini Books store is continuously restocked with books for your reading enjoyment all at very minimal prices.
