DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Mechanic Falls Library is looking for donations of books for our annual book sale from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 18.

Books can be dropped off at the library location at the Mechanic Falls Town Office at 108 Lewiston St., Mechanic Falls. The book sale will be held in the gymnasium at the Town Office, so books can also be left there.

Thank you all for your support of the library. The money from the book sale goes to support the summer reading club and to purchase children’s books for the library.

We are sorry to say we cannot accept textbooks and encyclopedias for the sale. — Nancy Petersons, nepesons@myfairpoint.net

ANSWER: Here’s a chance for all of you who have written to Sun Spots looking for a home for your used books. Note that they are not taking encyclopedias. Sun Spots suggests recycling.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Tables are still available for the craft fair and yard sale fundraiser for the LACO food bank in the Lisbon Falls area. We have a number of crafters, scrapbooking and stamping supplies, along with yard sale items so far.

The sale will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 18, at the MTM Center gymnasium, 18 School St., Lisbon Falls.

We will also have raffles and a 50/50 to raise money for the food bank. Donations of nonperishables are also welcome, since school vacation is coming, food banks are necessary for the needy.

For more information, call me at 353-2649 or 751-3360. — Rose, Durham

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Do you have a list of people who do window washing? The gentleman I had has retired, and I am in need of assistance.

I need names and telephone numbers, as I do not have a computer. Thank you. — J.T., Auburn

ANSWER: Sun Spots recently had a question about power washing and some of those responding also do windows (see following letters). From previous responses she has J&G Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing, Lewiston, a family-owned business established in 2006, 786-8573.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: In response to the May 7 query about power washing of siding, we offer that service at Start To Finish, Complete Power Washing & Janitorial Services. Lewiston, 777-7040. — stfjanitorial@aol.com

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I saw your May 7 column where there was a request for pressure washing. I operate a window-cleaning business and live in Lisbon Falls. We offer affordable window cleaning and pressure/power washing for residences and businesses. We also clean gutters. As asked by a reader, yes, we do clean vinyl siding with little or no soap or chemicals.

We will soon have the capability to clean up commercial businesses and office windows up to the fourth floor with our pure water system, without using a ladder! We have more than 30 years experience cleaning windows, and we are insured. Check us out at www.windowcleaning.com/brunswick-me/ or call us at 207-353-6815 home office or 207-592-6815 cell.

Thank you. — John Engelbert, owner, We Do Windows, Lisbon Falls, wdwandmore@yahoo.com

DEAR SUN SPOTS: For those looking to have their siding washed, try the Siding-Swab, a do-it yourself pad and pad holder where the pad is custom cut to fit your siding and mounts on a paint pole or extension pole. Go to www.sidingswab.com. Hope this helps. — Andy Kovarik, akkovarik@charter.net
