Following a successful used book sale, the West Newton Public Library is now accepting donations of adult hardcover and paperback books in good, saleable condition for its next sale, a spokesperson said.

The library also will accept gently used children’s books, DVDs and audio tapes. The library is located at 124 N. Water St. West Newton. Hours are 12 to 5 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays, 12 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.

The spokesperson said each donation is checked to see if they are needed on the library shelves; if not, they are placed either in the book sale room that is open daily at the library, or held for the next sale.

For more information, call (724) 633-0798.

In other news, Community Revitalization of West Newton is holding a “half the take” event at Vine Street Park on July 20. Contestants can purchase a golf ball for $5. On the day of the event, the golf balls will be loaded into a bucket truck and dropped onto a bullseye.

The ball closest to the center will win half of the proceeds. The other half of the proceeds will benefit CROWN. For more information or to purchase a ball, contact CROWN15089@yahoo.com.

The golf ball event is being held in conjunction with a “Chalk the Park” chalk-drawing event that begins at 7 p.m.
