Thurmond Memorial Library Annual Book Sale
Thurmond Memorial Library seeks book donations and volunteers for its annual Labor Day Weekend Book Sale.
Drop off donations (except encyclopedias or magazines) from noon to 5 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 31, at St. Mark & St. Paul at 216 University Ave., Sewanee. Volunteers are needed to accept donations and set up for the sale during this time.
Volunteers are also needed to staff the four-day sale from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 1, and Saturday, Sept. 2; from noon to 8 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 3; and from 8 a.m. to noon on Monday, Sept. 4.
Additionally, volunteers are needed from noon to 2 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 4, to pack unsold books.
Book donations that the library cannot use are sold at the annual sale to purchase new books or taken to McKay’s Bookstore in Chattanooga for either cash or credit to buy more books.
The library contains newer fiction and classic books as well as books for children and young adults. It’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to everyone in the community. All of the books are donations, and there are no late fees.
