Briarlake PTA Used Book Sale is coming soon! |
Needing to clean out some space after the holidays?
We want your books! The Used Book Sale is a favorite fundraiser the first Friday & Saturday in February. Collections have begun for Briarlake's annual Used Book Sale. We accept all books, including adult and childrens, as well as DVDs, CDs, and audiobooks. We have a particular need for books for kids in the 3-5th grade range, but will take pretty much anything that isn't falling apart or texts that are so out of date that they are unsellable. (This year we will NOT be taking VCR tapes.) Please feel free to share this information with your family/friends/neighbors/workplace/house of worship/meetup group/etc. Donations can be dropped in the school lobby. If you need help with a large donation, please email booksale@briarlakepta.org. Also, please email if you are interested in volunteering with this very fun event! Watch for a flyer for more details. |
