OCTOBER

Due to construction in the cellar, the OCTOBER FRIENDS' BOOK SALE is CANCELLED. The construction has limited the space in the basement, so starting August 1st, the Friends will not be accepting any donations. Look in the next Friends' newsletter and on this website for when they'll be able to resume. When they do take items again, they will no longer accept records, cassettes, VCR tapes, DVDs, encyclopedias, and magazines, as well as textbooks, because of space constraints.

If you would like to be notified by email of upcoming events, please send your email address to gpl@sals.edu
