Book Sale Committee
In coordination with the Book Room and Administrative Staff, the Committee plans and participates in two annual used book sales with the primary goal of generating significant revenue in support of the Friends’ mission. The fall sale is held in Portland and the spring sale in Gresham.
Under the guidance of the Chair, Committee members’ responsibilities include:
- Making policy decisions with regard to donated materials and book sales, such as pricing structures and online activities.
- Contributing to the positive profile of the Friends in our community by providing members and the general public with timely and accurate information on book sales and related issues.
- For those Committee members who are also Board members, making recommendations to the Executive Committee regarding the selection of Book Room staff.
- Coordinating with volunteers and staff to accomplish all of the components of successful book sales including: selection, preparation and cleanup of the venue; publicity; staffing; training; procurement of supplies and equipment; volunteer management and recognition; security and safety; fiscal accountability; statistical analysis; and Board reports.
- Implementing Board policies.
The Committee meets on the first Friday of the month at 9:30 a.m. in the Book Sorting Room, located in the Multnomah County Library Administration Building, 205 N. Russell, Portland. In addition to attending monthly meetings, members are asked to participate in sub-committees and book sale activities immediately prior to, during and after the sales.
