EXCITING NEWS -- Lots of new things to tell you about. We will be embarking on a new on-line book sale through Alibris at www.alibris.com We are currently in the process of setting up an account with Alibris to sell some of our donated books. This will give us a much larger customer base and should generate more income. If you would like to learn more about this project and/or assist with sorting and listing, please attend an informational meeting at our Bard Street location on May 24th at 2:00 pm. Marcie Hines will be coordinating this effort; she can be reached at 310-374-7062.

At only $250.00 for one membership or $500.00 per family, you can be rid of our nagging reminders for the rest of your life and make a nice donation to your community.

EVEN MORE NEWS -- Go to the FOL website at homework and click on "New Information" for information on a new "Live Homework Help" site from your Library that offers up to 20 minutes of help from a live tutor for students in grades 4 through 12.
