Friends’ book sale
Friends of the Pleasanton Library are hosting its spring book and media sale next week at the library downtown.
“Our biannual book sale is a great place to find wonderful treasures and gifts — or just a good book or two for yourself and your family. We always have an incredible selection of adult and children’s books, DVDs, CDs, games and puzzles,” organizers said.
The sale, which raises money for the nonprofit that supports the library, runs from next Thursday to Sunday (March 20-23) at the Pleasanton Public Library, 400 Old Bernal Ave.
Culinary Angels run
Culinary Angels is in the midst of its fourth annual Courageous Cancer Awareness Virtual Fun Run, which encourages people to raise money and awareness by donating and tracking their personal running routes over the two weeks or by contributing to an existing runner or team.
The virtual event, which opened March 7 and continues through March 21, supports the nonprofit in its efforts to provide organic meals at no cost to people facing cancer and their caregivers in Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon and Danville.
The fun run had raised $10,744 as of Wednesday morning. Go to culinaryangels.org.
