Too many books at library! “We’re sorry: we are unable to accept book donations at this town.” That was the flyer posted in the entrance way of the Saugus Public Library. While the flyer hailed the New Friends’ Annual Book Sale “a great success,” it also noted “a considerable excess of books at this time and no more space to store them.” “Therefore, we are no longer accepting book donations for the foreseeable future,” it continued. The flyer also suggested that folks who have excess books they would like to donate might consider making a donation of gently-used and clean books to these locations: • Council on Aging at 466 Central St.; call 781-231-4178 • The Salvation Army at 209 Broadway; call 781-231-0803 • Savers at 1160 Broadway; call 781-231-1232 CHaRM Recycling Drop-Off Site open The Town of Saugus announces that the community’s Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM) is open to residents on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The site is located behind the Department of Public Works at 515 Main St. There is no preregistration or fee required to enter the site; however, proof of residency is required.
