[ISLMA-Share] Used Books Sale

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We are in day two of this week's annual used book sale and have collected
more than $50.  The books are 25¢ for a former library book and 50¢ for
donated books Mon. - Wed.   On Thursday and Friday, students may buy a
paper grocery bag from us and fill it up for $1.

Some students have been trading chores for books in the sale.  (Dusting
shelves is a popular activity here for working off fines.)
