                                                                 The “Cookeville Mall”  
   
   The Conservation Commission and the Local Resource Network are developing a free “New to You” shop for the local community in Corinth. Called the Cookeville Mall, it will be located in the Cookeville Post Office building to the left of the entrance to Northern Woodlands. When it opens starting in mid-August, it will be open one day a week, on Saturday mornings from 8 to 2.
   Members of the Conservation Commission have learned about other communities that have successfully opened shops like this, where people can donate used household goods and items they no longer need. Other people take them home and put them to good use. It is a good way to get rid of items that are cluttering your basement without going through the hassle of organizing a yard sale, or worse yet, throwing them out. And these items may be exactly what your neighbor has been looking for, but didn’t want to buy new.
   It is hoped that the Cookeville Mall will serve a number of purposes: keeping perfectly usable items out of landfills, and recycling useful items to community members who need them.
   The shop will be staffed each Saturday for shopping and delivering goods. It’s important that items are dropped off only during business hours. So take a look in your attic or basement for those items that are in good working condition but that you no longer need. Please, no clothing and no computers, printers, TVs, or other large electronic devices.
