Friends of the Deer Park Library, a nonprofit group supporting the Deer Park Library primarily through book sales, held their sixth and final book sale of 2024 on September 13 and 14 at Reiley Family Storage.
Some call it recycling books; others equate it to hunting treasure. “A lot of people come to the book sale and enjoy browsing; children do too,” said Amy Calasopa, 87, who volunteers at the two-day event. “We have all different kinds of books: cookbooks, foreign language, poetry, sci-fi, fiction, romance, nonfiction, reference and education, arts and crafts, teen and young adult, we have jigsaw puzzles, magazines, tapes, videos, DVD, and CDs. There are a lot of record albums [33 1/3 RPM vinyl records]. We continually receive donations throughout the day; when they come in, the volunteers go through them and put them in the different categories.”
