Public Welcome to Special Book Sale at Burgess

 The Burgess Health Center Auxiliary will offer a book sale to the general public as well as its own employees in the hospital lobby on Friday, Dec. 11 from 8 a.m. till 5:30 p.m.

The sale will feature new best sellers, cookbooks, children’s books, inspirational, home improvement and gardening books, calendars, music CDs and more. Other gift items for both adults and children also will be sold.

The sale provides a fun shopping experience that helps with holiday gift-buying while also generating revenue for Auxiliary projects.

“Our Burgess lobby offers space for a book sale in a warm and inviting atmosphere,” says Jean Pekarek, Burgess patient experiences director who works with the Auxiliary. “We welcome members of the community to shop at Burgess for special books and gifts for Christmas at discounted prices.”

Burgess offered the book sale two years ago, Pekarek says. The sales are popular among hospitals in Iowa.

Credit cards will be accepted.
