Your generous purchases and contributions put many new book on the shelves! You can help at this convention by bringing your used paperback and hardback books to the specially marked table in the Activities Room at any time during the weekend. Even more important -- browse through our selection of "previously-appreciated" and "well-loved" books and take home some fabulous values while supporting this excellent cause.
