PENDLETON – The Pendleton Friends of the Library has issued a call for volunteers for its annual book sale on the PFOL Facebook page. The book sale will be Oct. 24-26 at the Pendleton Convention Center.
The organization needs help setting up the fair at the convention center including sorting books, unpacking boxes, and preparing signs on Oct. 21 from 1:30 p.m. on and on Oct. 22 from 3-6 p.m. During the sale they need volunteers on Oct. 25 from 12-2 p.m. and on Oct. 26 from 5-p.m. until closing. The Saturday shift includes packing up books that did not sell and cleaning up at the convention center.
Anyone who is able to help should email pendletonfriendsofthelibrary@gmail.com. Volunteers can also help at other times throughout the week. Those listed are the most needed.
A preview sale is scheduled for Oct. 24 for members of PFOL. Memberships can be purchased or renewed at the door. Memberships begin at $10 a year. Hours for the public sale are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 25, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 26.

More than 50,000 books and media will be on sale including children’s books, adult fiction, nonfiction, music CDs and DVDs. This year the sale will be featuring an expanded selection of rare books and bookish gifts.
