Another Great Book Sale!
The Friends of the Library book sale raised $10,660!
Thank you to the generous donors who offer their gently-used books all year long, the dedicated volunteers who transport, unbox & display the books, and the book lovers who browse & buy books from our overwhelming selection.
Why do the Friends do this? To support our incredible, award-winning town library.
The funds from our book sales & Friends Memberships support activities at the library such as Sunday concerts, museum passes, adult & children's programs, the summer reading program, as well as professional development for the library staff.
We should all take pride in our library!
Sincerely,
Tom and Deb Morck, Book Sale Chairs
