Last year at about this time I was writing about preparations for the annual Friends of the Alamance County Libraries Spring Book Sale that was scheduled for March. I’m a volunteer for the organization, a member and serve on the board. I’m also a longtime sale customer.
It’s a mark-the-calendar event in our household. I have attended the Fall and Spring sales regularly since I moved back to Burlington in 2007.
In 2020, things didn’t go as planned for anyone. Everyone knows what happened. The global pandemic shifted from something far away into an all-to-real and dangerous present and unclear future.
