Chambers Waterfront Park. Bad weather took a toll on last year’s sale but Saturday’s weather was picture perfect. Volunteer Deb Chevas said thanks to “some very generous buyers” and the help of 150 volunteers, they should surpass that number. Chevas said that 100% of the money raised goes back into the library system, including its many branches and both bookmobiles.
