CHESTERTON | Do you love working with books? The Friends of Westchester Public Library need help sorting books and setting up their Spring Book Sale from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 11.

Although many books are already sorted and boxed for the sale, the Friends still have hundreds of volumes to categorize and many boxes of books to move and to arrange on the sale tables. Books are typically sorted by type of binding, condition and subject.

Volunteers are asked to come to the second floor of the Thomas Library, 200 West Indiana Ave., Chesterton to help. You do not need to be a member of the Friends.

Volunteers are also needed throughout the week of Oct. 13, to help sort last minute donations, and also during the hours of the sale.

The sale will begin with the Friends Only Preview Sale from 4 to 8 p.m. Oct. 17. The public sale will be held from 9 to 4 on Oct. 18 and 19.

Donations for the sale may be brought to the collection box in the lobby of the Thomas Library. Donations are collected year round and donated items are reviewed for possible addition to the library's collection before being placed in the sale.

The Friends of Westchester Public Library wish to thank all of the people who make their sales successful by volunteering or by attending the sales and purchasing materials. Proceeds from the sale support many supplemental and special programming events.
