Frans recently signed both of us up to volunteer at the upcoming Friends of the Library book sale. It’ll take place the week of June 20-28, and is apparently a BIG money-maker for the Friends of the Library of Hawai’i. I went to the volunteer training session this morning and learned a lot more about both the organization and the sale.
Friends of the Library is a pretty cool (non-profit) organization. They raise money and use it to support 51 public libraries on Oahu. Their money goes towards special programs, scholarships, continuing education for librarians, grants, and last-minute funding issues. They might even help out with book-buying in the libraries this year since funding has been cut so much.
The book sale starts on June 20th at McKinley High School. They’re expecting around 30,000 people and the first weekend is likely to be the craziest. Funny, Frans signed us up to work the first weekend! Hmm. I’m really looking forward to it though – it seems well-organized, and it’s totally for a good cause. Plus we get cool volunteer T-shirts that say “Got books?” on the back.
