BULLETIN BOARD SE Library Monthly Book Sales Issue Resolved The contentious issue of lack of books-for-sale storage space in the Southeast Library renovation plan has been resolved. Friends of SE Library (FOSEL) wish to thank all who helped move this effort forward by signing their petition and/or making a donation. For decades, FOSEL has held monthly book sales to raise funds for kids’ and adult activities not supported by the DCPL budget. This community building event on the second Saturday of every month, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., attracts book lovers from all over the city. Most books are $1. FOSEL averages $1500 to $2000 in receipts every month. dclibrary.org/southeast.
