How do you get books for the sale? 
Books for the sales come from two sources, deaccessioned items from the library and donations from the public. Materials for book sales can be donated by leaving them on the table in the lower lobby outside of the Children's Room.
                       
Where do the books go from there?
Donated materials are brought to an area where they are sorted and grouped according to subject. They are shelved by subject until the book sale when they are moved to the top floor for the sale.
