Since December 1, 2015, a small self-serve book sale has been running daily in the lobby of the library. That sale has been quite successful, raising an average of over $100 a month for the Friends. But it has not made much of a dent in the huge pile of books in storage. Thus, it is time for a BIGGER sale, to help us recycle more of these gently-used books.

Come to the sale! Bring your friends! 

Prices will be discounted in the final hour (Saturday 3pm-) of the sale.  Help us clear that room!
