The Capitol Hill Library Book Sale Lives!

The Capitol Hill Library Book Sale Lives!

The Friends of the Southeast Library and the Friends of the Northeast Library are joining together to restart a book sale now that the SE Library is closed for renovations for two years.

The book sale will be held at the NE Library, 330 7th Street, NE, (southwest corner of 7th and Maryland Avenues NE).

In order to have a book sale, we need BOOKS! We need books in good condition that would be of interest to your friends and neighbors.  Novels, history, popular science, biographies, mysteries, science fiction, other non-fiction, kids, hardcovers, paperbacks are all welcome.  We don’t want books in poor condition, reference books, outdated computer manuals, textbooks, or magazines.  We accept CDs and DVDs, but not older technologies like tapes.

How to donate books?  The donation bin in on the lower level of the NE Library.  That means that you can only donate books when the library is open. There is currently no outdoor collection method.

You can check the library’s schedule on its website at https://www.dclibrary.org/plan-visit/northeast-library   

Current hours are:

• Sunday: 1:00 pm-5:00 pm
• Monday: 9:00 am-8:00 pm
• Tuesday: 9:00 am-8:00 pm
• Wednesday: 9:00 am-8:00 pm
• Thursday: 12:00 pm-8:00 pm
• Friday: 10:00 am-6:00 pm
• Saturday: 10:00 am-6:00 pm

We also could always use additional volunteers, either to help sort donations or to help when we organize and run the sale.  If interested, please contact Bob or Vince (at below).

Finally, we hope to have the first sale on the second Saturday in March (March 9). We will hold the sale if we have enough donations. There will be a further announcement.
