The staff was extremely helpful, and the lovely aesthetics of the facility were appreciated by volunteers and buyers alike. The Oakville Literacy Council Spring Used Book Sale is an enormous volunteer undertaking, supported by many local businesses, volunteers, book donors and book buyers. On behalf of the Oakville Literacy Council Board of Directors, I extend a heartfelt thank you to every one of you. You make the difference. Literacy Council's book sales help adults learn to read Our next fundraiser is the Oakville Half Marathon scheduled for the fall. Another great community builder. I hope to see you there running or walking for a local charity or pledging your support for one of the participant's charity of choice.
