Fundraisers and Grants
20th Annual Used Book Fair!
Anytime during the month of February, drop off your gently used children and adult books, games, and puzzles at the Hillside lobby. Donations in boxes rather than bags are best. Also, please separate children’s items from adults. JOIN US to sort books (for any amount of time) on Saturday, 3/2, 10am - 4pm, at Hillside. Use this
