Killingworth Library Staff Says "No More Book Donations At This Time"
In anticipation of their Feb. 16 sale, the library is literally overrun with book donations. They say "thanks, but no thanks" to any new donations for the sale until it's over and the next one is in the works.
Because the folks in Killingworth are so generous, the head librarian at the Killingworth Library has said, "kindly wait on donating any more books until the February sale is over."
The library will hold one of its book sales on Saturday, February 16 from 9am to 3pm at the library on Route 81. The sale will be held inside in the meeting room and in the lobby.
