Mainly Books would like to thank everyone who helped make our fall sale a success. We knew it would be a great day when there was a long line of people waiting to get into the library!
The Friends of Parma Public Library sponsors this event to help the library bring different programs to the community. We do that by creating opportunities through Mainly Books. Every time you stop in at our bookstore (24 Main Street, Hilton) or visit our biannual book sales, you support our efforts and make a real impact in our community.
These events are fueled by volunteers and community members who donate their time and efforts. All donations are from our community – we accept books and media to make our sale an exciting event. Planning begins six months before the sale and includes many parts. Our long-term board member and volunteer, Kathy, spearheads the planning. Then we gather, sort, and box up the books and media items. A lot goes into this, and it all begins with volunteers. It is an awesome effort each time.
We welcome everyone in the Parma Library community to be a part of this inspiring work. There is a place for you and your talents to help move us forward. We would like to acknowledge the newest members of our volunteer team, the members of SUNY Brockport’s Kappa Sigma Fraternity. These awesome folks helped us prepare for our sale by moving and setting up 114 boxes of books and media. This labor-intensive work was essential to our sale. Their hard work and positive attitude set us up for success, and we cannot thank them enough. In addition, they have offered to help us with any other projects we have, and we appreciate that because there are always more projects.
Volunteers are the life force of Mainly Books, and we thank you all. If you are interested in joining the Friends of the Parma Public Library, please contact us. You can join the Friends for as little as $5, and that fee goes directly to assisting the Parma Library. You will receive a free book from Mainly Books, and you will be able to choose a book from each of our biannual sales.
