We’ll also have some days between the sale weekends to tidy up and recategorize as necessary. Volunteers: no need to register in advance: just come to the Fort River Elementary School Gym! No need to commit to a day or time—just work when you can, as long as you can. All book-lovers welcome! You do not need to be a League member to volunteer.
Session Chairs needed! For morning (9-11:30) or afternoon (11:30-2). Please contact Susan if you are interested. Session Chairs will have a training workshop and printed directions; a trouble-shooter will be available at every session for advice and to deal with problems. There will again be student workers available much of the time to help.
