Mission Impossible? Condensed Books Treasure Hunt


Librarian Sally Bissell rounds up condensed books

Librarian Sally Bissell rounds up condensed books for the Friends of the Library treasure hunt.

April 14, 2005           $1320.00 raised so far!

Estero— Have you ever fantasized being part of a daredevil Mission: Impossible team, making earth safe for all of humanity? Now’s your chance.

The Friends of South County Regional Library, Inc. has issued a challenge in the spirit of Mission: Impossible. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find, root out and bring to the library any Readers Digest condensed books. Yes, those books. Those books that have taken up miles of shelf space in the nicest of neighborhoods. You know where they are. Turn them in now and clean up the clutter in our neighborhoods and make shelf room available again for real books!

The Friends of the Library have discovered a way of turning these no-longer and never-have-been valuable books into a source of funds for the South County Library. To most of humanity, these books are dust catchers, but to the Friends, these books are gold!

These books have been cluttering up flea markets, garage sales and your neighbors homes for decades. Do your part! Ask your neighbors for their books. Search your garages and storage units for Readers Digest Condensed Books and drop them off during business hours at the South County Regional Library at 21100 Three Oaks Parkway in Estero. The Friends will be able to enhance the library’s wish list by turning trash into treasure.

The Friends of the Library also accepts donations for future sales of books, audio and videotapes, CDs, and jigsaw puzzles during regular library business hours.

The very-possible mission of the Friends of the Library is to raise awareness of South County Regional Library as a cultural and educational asset in the community by enhancing programming and services through development of supplemental financial resources.

Friends of South County Regional Library, Inc. is a 501(c) 3 tax exempt organization and donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.
