WHEN WE MEET
The Friends meet the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 4pm. Please call the library to confirm, as meeting times are subject to change.
BOOKWORM SHOP
Open 10 a.m.-2 p.m. when the library is open. Come browse our extensive selection of gently used books (adult and children), movies, and puzzles for only 50 cents - $1.00! The Bookworm Shop is located on the lower level, next to the Children's Room.
BOOK SALES
We accept donations of hardcover, paperback fiction and nonfictions books; books on tape/CD; videos and DVDs. All items should be in good, saleable condition. Please bring your books to the front desk and call ahead if you are dropping off large quantities, as space can be an issue.
Old Home Day is our largest book sale. We also hold open houses throughout the year with books and gifts available to purchase. These special sales are held both in the Bookworm Shop and in the Exhibition Area on the main floor.
Higher value books are available for purchase on our Amazon account.
The Friends help to sponsor many great programs and services at the Library.
