A few weeks ago, I posted that the “Friends of Peninsula Community Library” group was accepting donations of gently-used books, DVDs, CDs and puzzles for their upcoming sale. They are still accepting items through the end of August – check out our community calendar for dates and times.
As of this week, we now have dates and times for the Book Sale, which will take place at the library, 2893 Island View Road.
