- Clean Up Volunteers – Wednesday, June 12 from 5-8PM
- A major part of cleanup is putting the unsold books into large cardboard gaylords, placed at various places around the floor of the facility.
- We also will remove signs and tables – this can be physical work! The more help, the quicker we get finished.
