Plants are the highlight at the White Center Library Guild‘s spring sale, happening right now inside the library. In the background above is a tall Japanese Maple that can be yours for $50. Or, for a lot less, young Japanese Maples, or tomato starts:

And of course there are books, books, books.

If you feel nostalgia for the pre-GPS days, we saw a couple stacks of old map books, too! The sale’s on until 4 pm today, and again 11 am-4 pm Saturday, at the library, 1409 SW 107th.

This was originally promoted as a “sidewalk sale,” but the White Center Library Guild‘s summer sale is actually happening inside the library (1409 SW 107th), a wise, air-conditioned choice on a very warm day.

Until 3 pm today, and again 11 am-3 pm Saturday, you can browse books and various housewares and other miscellaneous items – some toys too – we almost bought this friendly-looking frog:

Vintage sports figurines, too. Plus houseplants! The Library Guild raises money to support programming at WCL.

May 9th, 2024 Tracy Posted in Libraries, White Center Library, White Center news Comments Off on GRATITUDE: White Center Library Guild’s spring-sale success
The White Center Library Guild is sharing words of thanks to those who made their spring sale a success:

The White Center Library Guild held their Spring Rummage and Plant Sale on April 26th and 27th at the White Center Library. The sale featured books, plants – both seedlings for the garden and houseplants – as well as an assortment of other items, from jewelry to quilting supplies to coffee mugs.

The sale was well attended, and the money raised goes to support programs at the White Center Library, mostly programs for children. We are grateful for the support from the community and hope to see everybody at our Summer Sidewalk Sale on Aug. 2nd and 3rd, 2024.

Thanks to Gill Loring for the photos – he reports the White Center Library Guild‘s Holiday Bazaar last Friday and Sunday was a success!!

Among the shoppers, Gill reports, was someone buying things to help Ukrainian refugees this holiday season.

Shoppers ranged widely in age.

And if you wonder what that room at the library looks like post-bazaar – here’s the scene after the cleanup on Monday.

The White Center Library Guild is an all-volunteer group, and its work supports programming at the library.
