The Sunnyside Friends host two great book sales ev The Sunnyside Friends host two great book sales every year, which allows them to do cool things like purchasing dozens of copies of local author JaNay Brown-Wood's most recent book so everyone in attendance at her author talk was able to have a free signed copy to take home!

JaNay Brown-Wood is a New York Times bestselling author and grew up going to the Sunnyside Library herself, so this was an exciting opportunity for her and the neighborhood!
