Books Wanted for SLCHA's Used Book Bonanza
Are you looking for a good home for your gently used books? Do you want to share with your neighbors some of the great stories that are collecting dust on your shelves? Do you need to make more space for books you haven't gotten yet, but won't be able to live without once you find them? Do you just need to lighten your load? If any of this sounds familiar, don't worry because the St Lawrence County Historical Association can help you out of your predicament! Donate your books to the St Lawrence County Historical Association's Used Book Bonanza. The Used Book Bonanza will be held at the historical association's home, the Silas Wright House, 3 East Main Street, Canton, during St Lawrence County Dairy Festival Weekend, Friday, May 31st, noon-8 pm and Saturday, June 1st 10 am-4 pm.
Hardcover and paperback fiction, nonfiction, poetry, photographs, art, cooking, crafts, gardening, leisure activities, drama, music, and of course, history books are welcome! Please do not donate mildewed books, books in poor condition, textbooks, out-of-date reference books, encyclopedias or magazines (we know they're too nice to throw out – but we don't want them either). For more information on the Used Book Bonanza call SLCHA at 315-386-8133 or e-mail. All proceeds from the Used Book Bonanza on May 31st and June 1st benefit the St Lawrence County Historical Association.
