It was no surprise that Loudoun Library Foundation couldn't hold its 2020 June fundraising book sale; we had hoped we might be able to reschedule for sometime in the fall, but at this point, we've come to the difficult decision that we won't be able to hold a traditional sale at all this year. We're trying to determine if we can host some sort of modified sale in the fall, to at least salvage this year's fundraising, but there are a lot of things we have to figure out for that to happen.

We know that many of you are wondering why we can't take your donations now for a future sale, and we'd love to do that if we could, but there's a barrier that complicates that - namely, that we need to move from our current sorting and donation site by November 2020, and if we have not found another location by then, all of our materials and shelving have to go into paid storage. As most of you know, the foundation relies on donated space for our work, and that can be very hard to get. If you do know someone with ties to the real estate and/or charitable community who might be able to help this year, please help us connect.

As for donations - many of you have been taking this time to clean out your houses, and have many books and other media you'd love to donate. We will go back to collecting donations as soon as we can, but until then, if you can find a spot in your house to hold on to them, that would be wonderful!
