Many of the books offered for sale will be sorted by popular authors, such as Danielle Steele, John Grisham, James Patterson and David Baldacci. There are special sections in the bookstore, such as the Education Corner, which offers nursing textbooks and books for homeschooled students, and a Kitchen Corner, where an assortment of cookbooks can be found. Books in the Read Moore Book Store, which come from community donations and the library’s
collection, are displayed on unique shelving, including a canoe. There are also shelves that were made from a baby grand piano, a young adult section featuring books displayed on skateboards and bookshelves made from rain gutters. Since the library’s building once was home to a bank, shoppers can find rare and unique books in the “vault.” The Read Moore Book Store is open during library hours: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 7 p.m.; and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon. The store is staffed and maintained by volunteers from the Friends group. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/ReadMoore BookStore. Additional volunteers are needed.

Cub Scout Pack 20 of Atglen will present its second annual Turkey Trot, a 5K family fun run/walk, on Friday, Nov. 25, at the Octorara School District campus, 228 Highland Road, Atglen. Registration will be at 9 a.m., and the walk and run will follow at 9:30 a.m. Last year’s event attracted approximately 40 participants. “Some signed up that day. It was beautiful weather,” said troop chairman Denim Kurtzhals, race coordinator. “There were both families and individual runners.” In addition to being a fundraiser for the Cub Scouts, the event is designed as a way to collect canned goods for the Octorara Area Food Cupboard (OAFC). “We are encouraging each participant to bring two canned goods,” said Kurtzhals.
