Hi, I'm Joanne Davis, Executive Director of the Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends. And I have just a few announcements um tonight. One is We were at the Parade of Champions on Saturday and it was a great turnout. We had a lot of people come up to the bookmobile and to our table and ask about programs and ask about the library and we were able to hand out a lot of materials on our programs and the library's programs and and talk about what we do. So it was a really, really nice day. Um our next uh Saturday sale will be October, well Friday, Saturday sale will be October 17th and 18th. Um, due to the concrete work that's being done at Central Library, there will be no patio sale that weekend, but there will be a sale Friday afternoon and Saturday in the Margie room.
There's also, I think. If the concrete work is done, there'll be a patio sale on October twenty sixth, which is the last Sunday of the month.
