Donations of used books, patronage of our book sales and book carts and participation in this organization make superior library programming possible.
Friends’ funding comes primarily from membership and Book Sales as well as through sales of donated books from a cart located on the library’s gallery level and in the Book Corner on the first floor. The Friends welcome donations of books in good condition throughout the year. Some books become part of the library’s circulating collection; some are displayed for immediate sale on our book carts, and others are held for our book sales.
