Volunteer at the Library Book Sale!

The September calendar is probably filling up, but make some time this month to volunteer. The Chelmsford Public Library is seeking volunteers to help with their Annual Book Sale that will be held on September 20-22. The sale will be at the Main Library and the MacKay Branch.

Help is also needed unloading books and setting up for the sale, September 19, 6-9 p.m.

This fundraiser makes a huge impact on the library's budget...last year the sale raised over $24,000 to fund library programs and services.

Stop by the Library to add your name and phone to the sign-up sheets, or email kcryanhic@mvlc.org to sign up.
