We’re looking for a few good book lovers to help us put on a great Book Sale. Thousands of excellent books will be available at a fraction of their value—sort of recycling for the mind—for the benefit of Houston Public Library and the community. Will you join us? It’s fun, it’s always interesting, and, it’s easy to sign up!
