Last month, Kids Need to Read (KNTR), one of our favorite (and now local!) charities, asked you for donations of gently used books, and many of you were generous enough to send them a bunch. This Saturday, February 6th, you can come by Sequoia Charter School’s gym in Mesa, Arizona to find some new, previously loved treasures. (They won’t be in the gym proper, but in a room within the gym.) KNTR is selling used books for all ages and genres, calendars, and buttons, so you will be sure to find something you’ll love!
The address for the school is:
1460 S. Horne Street
Mesa, AZ
85204
The sale will run from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The school is having a sporting event that day in the gym, so please respect their event. We look forward to seeing you there!
Kids Need To Read has published a Thank You Blog to the Arizona Browncoats for our calendar sponsorship. They have some kind words to say about us and browncoats in general. Go check it out and leave a comment letting them know you stopped by.

Thanks to the following people for their contributions: Nancy Gerry Margaret Grady Jennifer Anderson Susan and Russ Richins David and Lisa Richins Mel Laliberte
