A  few general notices or reminders (for those of you who have attended our sale in the past):

•  We only take cash or checks.  NO credit cards or debit cards.

• Please be careful to park only in marked parking spaces and not along Evergreen Lane where the police may ticket you.

•  No large bins or wheeled bins of any size going down the sale aisles or stored at the end of the aisles. Copier paper boxes or banker's boxes may be carried with you in the sales area.  We will have designated areas for you to leave your boxes while you continue to shop.

• No  strollers in the sales area. That means you can bring the stroller into the building but you may not bring it into the small room where children's material is being sold, into the large sales room off the lobby, or into the aisles of the sales material out in the main library. Child carriers with solid frames that people wear like back packs are also not allowed in the sales areas.

•  The book sale ends each day promptly at the announced closing time.

•  We haven't viewed videos or DVDs that are on sale. We also haven't listened to the thousands of CDs and audio books that are on sale.

•   At busy times, we may limit how long you may leave your boxes or containers. 

We look forward to seeing you at the sale!
