Following its September parking lot sale, Pacific Palisades Library Association has resumed collecting “gently read books” on Saturdays and Wednesdays through November 23.
Volunteers will be inside Palisades Branch Library from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on October 19, 23, 26 and 30, as well as November 2, 6, 9, 13, 16, 20 and 23.
“Please note that we can only accept books in good condition,” PPLA—also known as Friends of the Palisades Library—wrote on a flyer for the collection drive. “Books should not be written in or highlighted, or show signs of excessive wear and tear.”
Magazines, textbooks, CDs, DVDs, encyclopedias and library books will not be accepted. PPLA also requested that book donations are not left at the library at times other than when a volunteer is present.
Books collected will be sold at future parking lot book sales, which support library updates and area programming like the annual summer creative writing contest and speaker series events.
“Our work in the community would not be possible without members and volunteers,” the flyer concluded. “To join us or for more information on how to volunteer, please email us at friends@friendsofpalilibrary.org.”
