Hi Joey,

Per our chat on Friday, I have attached a poster for the Sawyer Free Library book sale which will take place on May 31 and June 1, 2013. On behalf of the Friends of the Sawyer Free Library, I’d like to thank-you for running our previous ad soliciting books. Well it was successful and now we are swamped in books (a good thing). Now we just need to attract buyers as we have some wonderful books and the price is right.  We would appreciate it if you could run our ad once or twice over the next two weeks. All proceeds are used to supplement library programs and services.

As I mentioned, we do have an early purchase program for Friends of the Sawyer Free Library on Thursday, May 30th from 4-7. You can sign-up to be a Friend at the book sale and the membership would run to September, 2014.

We hope to see you at the book sale. Again many thanks for assisting us to raise funds for the library.  Also thank-you for this email address as the other failed to deliver.
