Thanks to the help of lots of Friends (and friends of Friends), we were able to hold our first big book sale in several years, and it was a huge success!! After months of planning led by book sale co-chairs Jaan Kulhman and Rebecca Schulte, the FOCCL book sale was held in the Coronado Center auditorium on the afternoon of Friday, October 24 for FOCCL members only and open to the public on Saturday, October 25.
