Following a “tremendous volume” of donations in January, Pacific Palisades Library Association will continue accepting donated books, but, going forward, only on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“We are building a fabulous selection of gently read books and are planning a book sale for April,” an announcement read. “Please stay tuned for the big announcement regarding our first parking lot book sale since 2019.”
Volunteers will be in the Palisades Branch Library parking lot on Wednesdays through the remainder of February and March to accept book donations—February 21 and 28, and March 6, 13, 20 and 27.
PPLA will accept books in “good condition,” according to an announcement. Books donated should not be written or highlighted in, or show signs of excessive wear and tear.
PPLA asked that donors not leave book donations at times other than those specified or when volunteers are not present. They will not be able to accept magazines, textbooks, CDs, DVDs, encyclopedias or library books.
“Parking lot book sales have been a treasured community activity in Pacific Palisades for more than three decades,” according to a previous announcement. “The book sales provide critical funds for library books, educational materials, community programs and other improvements at the Palisades Library, as well as assistance to underserved libraries in other parts of Los Angeles.”
