Booktique 2023

Call for Booktique Donations

We’re holding our Booktique sale in October this year (sale dates Sat 10/14 – Sat 10/21), and we are seeking donations of handcrafted items to sell to benefit the library! Do you make illustrated bookmarks? Self-designed t-shirts? Hand-poured candles? No matter your craft of choice, we hope you’ll consider supporting library operations by donating some of your completed projects to our sale!

Bring your donations to our service desk any time during open hours through Saturday, September 30th. We will ask you to provide your contact information and a description, quantity, and suggested price for each item. You can print and complete a form with this information ahead of time, or fill one out at the library.

Questions? Call the library at 503-259-0185, or email Community Engagement Specialist Maggie at maggieh@alohalibrary.org.

Thank you for your support!

The fine print:
  • All items should be handcrafted or upcycled, and appropriate to display at a family-friendly event. No homemade foods, sorry!
  • Suggested prices are suggestions only and the library may choose to set other prices at its discretion.
  • Items that remain unsold at the end of the Booktique will be retained by the library and may be sold at future events or otherwise utilized to benefit the library.
