LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Friends of the Lake County Library is calling for donations of books for its May 6 sale.

Books should be in good condition and, except for classics, be recently published.

Cookbooks are especially welcome, as are self-help and how-to books. Unfortunately, encyclopedias and magazines are not needed.

Please expressly state that the books are for the "Friends sale" when they are delivered to your local branch.

Deliveries may be made to the circulation desks at the Upper Lake, Lakeport or Redbud branches. Proceeds from the sale will help to buy new books.

Please call the Lakeport Branch at 707-263-8817 with any questions you may have. The semi-annual sale is planned for Saturday, May 6, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Members of the Friends may access the sale at 9:30 a.m. and are entitled to a free book.
