A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers who made the Friends BIG Fall Book Sale possible! 📚💛

From setting up before the doors opened to organizing books, running checkout, carting purchases, loading cars, and helping shoppers find exactly what they were looking for, you were everywhere and did everything. You made the sale what it was.

We could not have done it without you, and we are so grateful for your time, energy, and heart. Thank you!
