12 Days! Help us fill this room!

The Pages for Pennies sorting room has been so busy for the past two weeks - and now we're down to 12 days of donations remaining!

If you have books you've already read, books your kids have outgrown, or a library's worth of titles you're ready to pass on to other readers, Pages for Pennies is the perfect way to get them into circulation. We also accept gently used CDs, DVDs, LPs, audio books, games, puzzles, and sheet music.

Donations can be dropped off in the carts in the Bridge View Center lobby during regular business hours tomorrow through September 18. Then we'll close donations and get ready for the sale - September 25-27.

Clear off your shelves and help make this our best sale ever!
