Cathy Steves: Director of the Friends of the Scarsdale Library Book Sale
According to Kathy Steves, who is the librarian at Cardinal Spellman High School and directs the Scarsdale Library book sale each year, much to her surprise this year more books have been donated than in prior years. The books contain a trove of historical information about Scarsdale – and inside the books Steve and her staff have found some wonderful memorabilia. Steves has A well-used prayer book
This year, volunteers range in age from teens to a woman in her nineties who comes everyday to help out. Moving the heavy boxes of books has not been easy; while I was there I heard a cry from a volunteer who said, "There's a logjam in Sociology" and asked for a strong young man to help to adjust the boxes.
The library will be accepting donations through Saturday August 23rd, with the sale to begin on September 6th and run through September 15th. Volunteer Jeremy Chalchinsky display a book on Freud
