The Grinnell school library was damaged in the tornado that struck that community on May 18.
The school lost books.
Books have been donated to help the community restore its collection. The Hays United Methodist Church has been accepting books.
The Grinnell school libraries have received an overwhelming number of donated books, according to the Hays Public Library.
After consulting with the Grinnell librarian, the Hays Public Library, with assistance from the Friends of the Hays Public Library, has chosen to take the donated books and have a benefit book sale, with all proceeds going to the Grinnell school libraries.
The library will continue to accept donated books until 2 p.m. Friday.
The sale will be 2 to 5 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
