The Library Friends are volunteers who raise money for their respective libraries, primarily through book sales. Each is an independent, 501c3 organization and donations to the Friends groups are tax deductible. The funds raised through the book sales are used to enhance library services and collections.
The Friends accept donations of gently used books during library open hours. Donated materials are first reviewed for addition to the collection, before being sold. Call your library in advance if you plan to make a large donation.
Anyone can join the Friends.
