Council of Neighborhoods brings in and sells over a thousand used books

Dick Nicholson hauled boxes of books

Volunteer Dick Nicholson pauses for a photo in-between hauling in boxes of donated books to the Council of Neighborhoods Used Book Sale at Swingin' Summer Eve at Cromwell Park on July 18, 2012. 

The North City Neighborhood volunteers brought in over a thousand books for sale. Half a dozen other participating neighborhoods brought books in the hundreds. Browsers were buying the books as fast as they came in, happily taking out grocery bags full of books.

The proceeds are divided among the participating neighborhoods.
