You came. You browsed. You shopped! Whitby couldn't get enough of our inaugural book sale. Close to 650 people showed up on Saturday, June 13 to support the Library and look for amazing deals. From exciting fiction finds to DVDs to children's story books, thousands of items flew out the door.
We couldn't have done it without the overwhelming amount of physical donations from the Whitby community. We put the call-out in May and wow, did our patrons respond! The end result from thousands of items donated? We raised a whopping $7017.50. All the money from the sale will support the library programs and services you love.
A shout-out to our teen volunteers for their incredible support. Their hard work, enthusiasm, and "how can I help" attitude made the world of difference for our team in charge of hosting this special event.
What's next? We've had many messages and questions about when we're holding our next sale. Stay tuned! We'll be sure to share the details.
Looking to help support the Library now? You can make a donation on the Whitby Public Library page of Canada Helps at anytime.
Thank you Whitby! We are truly grateful for the Library Love.
