The library’s annual book and bake sale can use lots of helpers – dates and tasks vary from sorting books and setting up to prepare in advance, to selling items on the weekend of Warner Fall Foliage Festival October 6 and 7, to packing up and /or transporting leftovers the following week. Or you could donate some home baked goodies.
