Good afternoon, Steven.

 

Following up on our phone conversation, I wanted to let you know that Camp Mirage remains interested in donating all the books we currently have. As a reminder, we purchased a private school in Plymouth this past summer, which has since closed. This purchase included the land, the building, and all contents. The former New Morning School was a Pre-K through 8th-grade institution. We have a wide variety of books, including board books, chapter books, fiction, and non-fiction. You name it, and we have it!

 

You mentioned that an evening time frame might work best for library staff to come and pick out books. I am happy to arrange two days with a two-hour window. However, we would like to complete this before the end of January, preferably by January 20th, as I am leaving for a work trip on the 21st. Please email or call me with your recommended dates and times. If there is no interest, we will consider other donation options, but given the excellent condition of these books, we believe libraries are the best fit.

 

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Jill
