The Friends of the Idyllwild Library will hold a Labor Day weekend sale from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 3, and Sunday, Sept. 4, on the library deck at 54185 Pine Crest Avenue. This will be the last sale of the year.

There will be many books available, and very reasonably priced collectible books and book sets. Many large print books will be offered for easier reading. Summer and fall entertainment will be enhanced by the various media types available, such as VHS tapes and CDs. All items will be in great condition.

Donations of books, tapes and other media items are needed now to prepare for the sale. They may be donated during library hours, on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Clean, non-damaged items are wanted.

Volunteers are also needed to help with the sale set up, the sale itself, and the “tear down.” They also encourage people to become members of the Friends. Forms will be at the sale and are available at the library desk.

Complimentary refreshments will be served. For more information, contact Teresa, the librarian, at (951) 659-2300.
