Lookout Bookout Set for Sept. 27

Sally Nelson, who organized the first Lookout Bookout in May, was so thrilled with the success that she has decided to organize another one! Mark September 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., on your calendars and join the fun at the Fairyland Mountain Hall! This will be a fun day to share and donate any type of book that you no longer need, from children’s books to adult non-fiction and every tome in between. Also puzzles, crafts and audio tapes are accepted. This event is a win-win for everyone; not only do you have a chance to get rid of your books, you get to find new ones to read. In fact, you are invited to throw down a blanket on the lawn, take a load off and read a few books right there! Folks of all ages can enjoy the craft table, tiny handmade animals will be for sale and refreshments will be served.

You can donate your books, puzzles, and/or audio material ahead of time, from September 22-26, at boxes outside Lookout Mountain School, Fairyland Elementary School, and the Fairyland Mountain Hall in Lookout Mountain, Ga.  Come to the FMH on September 27 to pick up some things to enjoy and visit with other bookworms!

Sally couldn’t believe how well the mountain supported this idea. Any items left over from the last Lookout Bookout were taken to little free libraries around the mountain or donated to Goodwill. You can also donate cash that day, which will be used to build new the free libraries. What a fabulous idea and thanks, Sally, for not only thinking of it, but making it happen. Hope to see you all on September 27!
