SALEM LIBRARY GROUP SEEKS BOOKS FOR ANNUAL SALE

The sale is held each year as an activity of the Olde Salem Days festival and is one of the group's main fund-raising events.

Needed are volumes that book owners no longer want, according to a flyer now being distributed by the Friends group.

Revenue from the sale is used for materials or equipment not covered in the library's budget.

Books can be taken to the Salem Library on Main Street in downtown Salem.

The friends group sponsors several other activities on behalf of the library, including assistance in preparing tax returns and collecting Campbell Soup labels, which can be redeemed for various equipment for the library.
