Our Team

The team at the Bethlehem Area Public Library BOOK SALE consists of  dedicated volunteers. They work very hard sorting through donations and arranging them so that you can find exactly what you want.  Although the book sales are set up in bookstore-fashion, you will come across treasures that you will not find in commercial bookstores.

Volunteer Extraordinaire!
