Our book sale season has come to an end. We couldn't have done it without all
the countless volunteers who set up, sorted and priced books, stocked tables, opened and closed the sale each weekend and all of the friendly cashiers.
Remember, we are always looking for Volunteers for next summer!
Volunteers
are needed to do tasks such as: Set Up, Book Sorting, Book Pricing, Table Stocking, Opening & Closing (tarping)
and more. Please email Eric Cieplik at [email protected] or
sign-up at the front desk at the Library.
Book Donations are always welcome!
We are pleased to accept your books year round.If you have a large donation, please call ahead to facilitate unloading the books at the old firehouse.
We can you give a tax card for a charitable donation. All sales benefit the Kent Memorial Library. We are always especially in need of current fiction, including children's books, jigsaw puzzles, movies on DVD, music and books on CDs, and non-fiction books. (there are particular items we cannot accept, such as magazines, Reader's Digest condensed books, older textbooks, VCR tapes, encyclopedias, books which have a mildew odor, records, books on cassettes.)
Thank you to all, we couldn't do any of it without you!
