If you haven't already heard, the library will be selling some of its furniture (aka the "excess furniture"). Some of it has been in storage (aka the basement) for a while and some of it, while still lovely, does not fit with our effort to make the library a flexible space that can serve our needs (aka the community's) the best that it can using its existing footprint and so we must unfortunately part ways.

In an effort to find it new, loving homes while also earning a little money towards our nesting tables and stackable chairs (furniture that will match our flex space needs), we've priced it accordingly and will have it listed on Facebook and "in person" in the form of a catalog for those who prefer to see something in print. The sale will run through June 6th and details of the sale will be included on the Facebook listings and with the paper catalog for those interested.
