The ‘Friends of the Library’ thank you for donating gently used items for our sales. Due to limited storage space, the Library accepts donations only during the third full week of each month.

Support the Library by donating:

Items that may not be donated (because they just don’t sell)

• Business books published more than 10 years ago
• Textbooks published more than 10 years ago
• Encyclopedias published more than 10 years ago

Thank you for all your donations!

Used Book Sale

The Friends book sales generate funding to support Library programs and equipment purchases.

The children’s summer library program is supported through purchase of reading rewards and funding of performers for the festival at Harris Park.

In past years, the Friends have purchased two receipt printers for the checkout desk. The printers provide patrons with a list of the items they have borrowed and the due dates of each item. A disc repair system was funded that allows the Library to rescue damaged video and audio discs in the collection.

Friends donations allow the Library to purchase special additions to the Library collection such as the Hooked on Phonics reading instruction kits.
