The Travilah PTA is collecting books now until November 18th to hold a Covid-safe outdoor Book Sale on Saturday, November 21st. We need your help! We’re asking our community to donate your gently used books to support the Travilah teachers, students, and staff. All proceeds from the sale will benefit Travilah kids and their needs. Any books left unsold will be donated to needy local children and their families.
To participate:
1. Drop off whatever books you can give at the large labeled box by the front door of Travilah no later than Wednesday, November 18th.
2. The Book Sale will be held at Westleigh Pool parking lot (outdoors) between 1-4pm on November 21st (rain or shine). We have tents in case of rain.
3. Each book will be priced at $2. Remember 100% of proceeds go to support the PTA‘s programs for the school and its students.
4. Everyone must wear masks. We will have plenty of hand sanitizer on site.
5. Any unsold books will be donated to nearby children in need.
