Check out our new Friends of the Library book bags...environmentally friendly and made from recycled plastics! They are now available in Royal as well as the fun summer colors of Grape, Cherry and Lime.
They measure 15 inches high x 12 inches wide x 9 inches long... and carry twice what our old bags could handle ( a cubic foot of books! ) for half the price. They collapse easily when empty and can be stored nearly anywhere. Get one for only $3.99 at the Library Store!
The Friends of the Library are pleased to support Ready to Read, an initiative of the library aimed at ensuring our youngest citizens enter school prepared to read. Thanks to the Friends, these toys which support ready to read skills, can be found at our Parsons and Whitehall branches.
When you become a Friend of the Library, your membership helps to support a variety of educational and community outreach programs, including Summer Reading Club, Homework Help Centers, and Teen Read Week.
If you’d like to volunteer at the sales—and get a first look at all those books!—we’d love to have you. Tell us you’re interested, and be sure to mention your branch.
And where do we get all these books? While many are culled from the library’s collection, we also accept donations to fill the sales. Materials can be taken to any branch. See donation guidelines here.
