Harper Library Resale Shop
Announces Expansion
On April 17, Saturday at
the Harper Library Resale
Shop they will be holding
their first “Tax Free Sale” for
that entire day. “At the
new building located at
23550 US-290 West (across
from the Harper High School
campus) there is lots of
parking available for our
customers,” says Glenna
Hartman, one of the new
volunteers. With the
recent construction
improvements, there has
now been added two new
rooms for our customers
and a large receiving and
work area for our volun-
teers.
Kathryn Jenschke noted,
“We now have a special
“Boutique Room” with
brands such as Chico, Talbot,
Howard Wolff to name a few,
as well as unusual collectible
items, even some nodder
dolls. It is so much fun vol-
unteering here at the shop
with so many items I am
proud to sell to our cus-
tomers and supporters.”
With the inventory changing
daily, some customers have
found what they’re looking
for so they don’t have to
drive that fifty-mile round
trip to Kerrville or
Fredericksburg.”
With a new larger room
our customers will now have
a wonderful opportunity to
purchase larger items (fur-
niture, exercise equipment,
etc.) and high quality col-
lectibles (dolls, glassware,
jewelry, etc.) without paying
the Sales Tax.
Florence Brown, one of
the managers, said, “They
just received a Leyse
Professional 18/10 Stainless
Steel Cookware Collection
that will be available for this
sale. Remember we have
high quality at country
prices.” She also men-
tioned that presently we
have a nice selection of
leather couches, old oak
kitchen chairs in excellent
condition and there are new
treasures arriving every day
we‘re open.
The Farmer’s Market will
also be open on this
Saturday. Kay Kloesel, the
manager, said “We are open
the first and third Saturdays
of the year and proudly
have fresh eggs, plantings
and home-baked goods and
have even had live roosters
donated for the sale. You
never know what is avail-
able so stop by and see what
you can find.”
The privately funded non-
profit Harper Library
receives “100% of the
profit” from the Resale Shop
to maintain the library and
its ongoing community
programs, as well as some
donations for the ongoing
Building Fund. The Building
Fund is needed to refit the
rear of the new building for
the future use of the library.
The Harper Library
Resale Shop is open on
Wednesday and Thursday
from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
and Saturday from 10:00
a.m. until 2:00 p.m. The
hours may change in the
future as the needs of the
community change, if you
have any questions you can
call during business hours at
864-5870.
The Resale Shop said they
are taking donations, during
business hours, of clean,
slightly used items, and for
bigger items arrangements
can be made for their pick-
up.

issues come before both
