Friends of the Library
used book sale May 28-30
Craving a few more books to read?
Maybe, say, a whole bag of books for a dol-
lar? Then you’re in luck. The upcoming
Friends of the Library Used Book Sale is
just what you’ve been waiting for.
The “members only” preview sale will be
Thursday, May 28, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. in the
Gaulke Meeting Room of the main library.
Membership in the Friends can be pur-
chased or renewed at the door. Current
members should bring their door passes.
The public sale will be Friday, May 29,
from noon to 6 p.m., and Saturday, May 30,
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Regular prices on
Thursday and Friday are $1 for hardback
books and 50 cents for paperbacks. Satur-
day is the “bag sale,” in which you can buy
a bag of books for a dollar.
Thousands of books, ranging from self-
help to horror, children’s fantasy to adult
romance, will be available for your brows-
ing pleasure. The books are donated by
community members throughout the year,
then sorted and priced by volunteers for
this sale.
The proceeds support ongoing library
activities such as Hood River Reads, other
reading programs for adults and children,
the purchase of needed equipment, and
special staff training.

Lauren Bardenett adds the
flourish to a coffee drink at
Doppio, 310 Oak St., where
all day May 27 the café will
donate 10 percent of pro-
ceeds — drinks and food —
to help an earthquake-dam-
aged Nepal village of Kumari.
Funds will support rebuilding
of homes in Kumari, after the
earthquake that hit the Hi-
malayan nation in late April
and early May. Peter Marbach
of Hood River, who has spent
time in Kumari, said it costs
just $280 to rebuild a home
for a family of 10 or more in
Kumari. The $280 purchases
locally-sourced tin which
families will use for a more
permanent roofing to put on
patched up stone and bam-
boo structures. Marbach will
announce what was raised at
7 p.m. on May 27 before a
book signing with Janet Cook
at the Columbia Center for
the Arts.
