To offer a little bit of hope, at my last college (in another state) we did a book sale couple with a craft sale/bake sale with contributions from both college staff and a couple local folks who paid a small booth fee/donation. It was a lot of work but
also actually pretty awesome. We used the funds to create a scholarship.</div>

Hello,</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
We are going to have a relatively small book sale – mainly donated items and discarded fiction paperbacks. Most items were not purchased with college funds. I found an email from 2015 that laws and policies that stated we have to publish a notice in the school
district newspaper letting public schools in the district know we are selling such.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
I am wondering if anybody has had a sale in the past couple years and if so, is there some boilerplate language regarding the notice that needs to be placed. (It is a pain to have to do this, when really no other library is going to be interested in this
stuff…)</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
But, we will do what we must.</p>
