Station’s biennial Big Book Bash Sept. 24

It’s that time again when booklovers make room on their shelves for the great finds they pick up at the Big Book Bash at Station on the Green.

Those looking to offload some books can donate to the cause. Volunteers are now accepting donations of good quality books for the Sept. 24 sale. All proceeds go toward ongoing maintenance and upkeep of Station on the Green. Volunteer Bill McDougall said the money raised at the biennial sale, the biggest fundraiser for the community centre, helps keep user fees down.

About 20 volunteers have been working daily to clean, sort, and alphabetize the books that are coming in but more donations are needed.

Organizers are looking for all types of books, especially trade paperbacks.

Clean, gently read books are being accepted at the Creemore Curling Club from 10 a.m. to noon Monday to Friday and at The Creemore Echo office during regular business hours, until Sept. 21.

On the day of the sale, thousands of books will be laid out at Station on the Green. The sale is open from 8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The curling club is located at 218 Collingwood St. The Creemore Echo office is located at 3 Caroline St. W.

The book sale is not accepting really old books, however they are needed for an art installation by paper artist Liz Eakins that will be mounted at Station on the Green during the Creemore Festival of the Arts on Oct 1-2. Bring them to The Echo office.
