Jewish Secrets for Leading a Productive Life
presenting a new 6 week course
CLE Accredited
Q. Who are your volunteers?
A. We have a team of 15 volunteers, some of whom volunteer daily or
weekly and others who come once a month. They help sort the books and
put the hard cover and trade fiction in alphabetical order on the shelves.
Q. What things have you found inside donated books?
A. You would be amazed how many airline boarding passes we find
in our books. We have also found pictures, letters and occasionally cash.
When possible, we try to send return these things back to their owners.
Q. Where do your you get your books?
A. The majority of our books come from tax-deductible community
donations and cancelled books from the Beachwood Library. We are so
happy that through our sale these books are given a second life.
Q. What do you do with books you don't sell?
A. We send many of these books to Better World Books, which sells
them online and gives us a percentage of the sale. We donate our large
print books to Beachwood nursing homes; the rest are donated to
Ahuja Medical Center, Cleveland Public Schools and to the free Lend-
ing Tree at the Cleveland Heights library. The damaged books are sent
to a recycling plant.
Q. Why do you find this chapter of your life so rewarding?
A. This sale allows so many good books to be put in the hands of readers
of all ages. I'm happy our First Readers help young children learn to read,
and am gratified that we make reading easy, enjoyable and affordable to
everyone of every age and interest.
