Book Sale, April 8-19
Levitt Library on the York College campus is about to undergo major renovation as it transforms into the Levitt Academic Resource Center, beginning in summer 2019. But first, time for some spring cleaning! They’re removing books, DVDs, magazines, cassettes, VHS tapes, and record albums that YC students no longer need. Some of these materials would be great for a personal collection, others would be just the thing for Pinterest worthy craft-creations. See dates, times and pricing at www.york.edu/booksale.
