Volunteer to sort books on September 30

Hello Friend!
Railroad Days is fast approaching, and with it our used book sale. If you’ve already signed up to help us at the book sale, thank you! If not, we still have plenty of spots open. You can sign up here: https://signup.com/go/WiQHBcq

We’re contacting you today for another volunteer opportunity. In the past, we’ve spent several hours the day of the book sale setup trying to organize the books into genres. This year, we’re going to do it before the sale.

If you have some time between 1PM and 4PM on Saturday, September 30, to help us get these books sorted, we’d really appreciate it. If you can stay the whole time, that’s great, but we’ll be happy if you can only spend some of that time with us.

Here’s where you can sign up: https://signup.com/go/fjjcvzL

We’ll send more details, including the address, a couple of days prior. If you have a folding table we can use and you can bring that with you, that’d be awesome.
As always, reach out if you have any questions.

Calling all Volunteers! Railroad Days 2023 Used Book Sale – Oct 7&8

Hello Friend of the Library!

It’s September, and that can only mean one thing: It’s almost time for Brunswick Railroad Days!

Our used book sale at Railroad Days is our major fundraiser of the year. The money we raise is used to support our Brunswick Branch Library.

But we can’t do it without you. For one thing, these books won’t sell themselves. For another, books are heavy. Steadman-Keenan American Legion Post 96 is once again generously donating space in their parking lot. While we need people to sell books, we’re especially in need of folks for set up and breakdown. (The books need to be transported 2 blocks from storage.) Do you have a pickup truck we could use to move books?

Sign-ups are open. Please go to https://signup.com/go/WiQHBcq to sign up for one or more spots. Invite a friend to work with you! Please forward this message to anyone who might be interested.

Here’s how it works in 3 easy steps:

1) Click this link to see our SignUp on SignUp: https://signup.com/go/WiQHBcq
2) Review the options listed and choose the spot(s) you like.
3) Sign up! It’s Easy – you will NOT need to register an account or keep a password on SignUp.

Note: SignUp does not share your email address with anyone. If you prefer not to use your email address, please contact us and we can sign you up manually.

Thank you, and we’re looking forward to seeing you at Railroad Days!

Book sale tomorrow!

Calling all book lovers! Our used book sale is tomorrow, April 8, and we’ve got a great selection of books for all ages and interests. You’ll find fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, and more. All books are priced to sell, so you’re sure to find some great deals.

The sale will be held at the Brunswick library from 11am to 4pm. We hope to see you there!

Remembering Jane Weisemann

We are saddened to hear of the recent passing of Jane Weisemann.

Jane was one of our longest serving members of the Friends of the Library, and her membership reply was one of the first we received each year. Jane was also one of our most reliable volunteers and we could always count on her to help out at our annual used book sale.

Our thoughts are with Jane’s loved ones. She will be missed.

It’s time for the Railroad Days book sale!

Well, as predicted, this all came up faster than we realized.

Railroad Days starts tomorrow and, with it, The Friends of the Brunswick Library’s used book sale.

We’ll be at the American Legion parking lot starting at 10:00 both days. We have a pretty large stock of books, so come on down to see us. Not just books, either. We’ve got audio books, DVDs, CDs, books on tape, and even VHS video cassettes.

It’s not too late to volunteer to help out either. We can always use a few more hands.

Oh, and considering the weather for the last few Railroad Days, we’d appreciate any rain dances, good luck charms, or other interventions you have available to make sure we have good weather.

Railroad Days Used Book Sale – October 6&7

Our annual Used Book Sale at Railroad Days is coming up! We’re going to have thousands of books, along with a good collection of DVDs, video cassettes, CDs, and books on tape. Some very interesting specialty items. We’ll have tons of kids books!

Assuming the weather cooperates, we will be there both days for Railroad Days, October 6 & 7, 2018. Festivities kick off at 10:00 AM.

See you there!
