Fall Book Frenzy events start September 26
Fall Book Frenzy preparations are underway with the collection of pre-loved books, puzzles, and games. Tuesday, September 26 is Author Night, a lively evening with Tyler Merritt, author of the best-selling book “I Take My Coffee Black.” The book sale takes place in Cheek Gym from Thursday, September 28 through Saturday, September 30. It benefits the Hassenfeld Library and USN’s K-12 need-based scholarship program and allows local nonprofits and public school teachers to refresh their bookshelves at little to no cost.
