THE GREAT BIG BOOK SALE UPDATE
THE 2023 GREAT BIG BOOK SALE WAS A GREAT BIG SUCCESS. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS, TO ALL THOSE WHO DONATED BOOKS, AND TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS WHO BOUGHT THEM!!
THE 2024 BOOK SALE IS BEING PLANNED FOR THE END OF MARCH 2024. THE ACTUAL DATES WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE AVAILABILITY OF SPACE IN WHICH TO HOLD THE SALE AND THE BOOK COLLECTION, WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY BEGIN IN MID-FEBRUARY.
CFUW is very appreciative of your interest in donating books for the sale. Unfortunately, we do not have any space in which to store the books in the months leading up to the sale. If you are able to keep your books until we are ready to receive them, we would be most appreciative. If not, there are many charity shops which will be happy to have them. WATCH THIS SPACE! WE WILL POST INFORMATION ON THE SALE AS SOON AS WE HAVE IT!
