Ours is actually very good and I keep telling myself I will go down there and volunteer if I can arrange to get hours that do not interfere with my golf addiction. I am shamed by my selfishness but not enough to give up any golf.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-20301217377249834002012-04-12T10:50:44.036-04:002012-04-12T10:50:44.036-04:00Once a year a volunteer organization in the Phoeni...Once a year a volunteer organization in the Phoenix area has a massive used book sale..tens of thousands of books are sold over a very busy weekend. They raise well over $100,000.<br /><br />When Betty and I were in the small town of Patagonia, AZ recently, the local library had a book sale. We don't need any more books, but they need the money so we bought a tall stack.<br /><br />Supporting your local library is important and easy to do.Bob Lowryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843991725692979189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-80944826813254214122012-04-11T15:29:37.630-04:002012-04-11T15:29:37.630-04:00Congratulations on your volunteer work.

At all the area sales, hardcovers go for $1 and softcovers are 50 cents.<br /><br />There is no nobler calling than library volunteer.
