Friends of the Danbury Library Booksale This Weekend

Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the Friends of the Danbury Public Library will hold their annual book sale, and this year the sale has more books than ever before.

The PAL building at 35 Hayestown Road has been closed to sporting business since Tuesday, when a half dozen volunteers set up about 80 tables across the gymnasium.

On Wednesday, other volunteers placed boxes of books on those tables, and started to open those boxes.

Still more volunteers arrived Thursday, and started to take architecture books out of the architecture boxes, art books out of the art boxes and book sets out of the sets boxes to arrange them on the tables. Volunteers line up the spines and titles so when customers arrive Saturday at 9 a.m., they can walk down an aisle and read all the titles.

"It's coming together. It always does," said Robert Mosley, a co-chair of the annual book sale. Mosely spent Thursday morning operating under the business principal of "management by walking around." The books started to line up on the tables, and the finishing work will be completed on Friday for Saturday's opening.
