What do Friends do?The purpose of the Friends organization is to help the library by raising funds and filling library needs under the auspices of the library Board of Trustees and the library Director, who serves as a liaison between the library Board and the Friends group. For example, the Trustees might need assistance with money for summer reading program refreshments, an expense not allowed in the library budget. A Friends fund raising project could fill this need. |
|||||||||
|
Friends of the Library accept donated books to be used in their two
yearly book sale projects. We can accept everything but condensed
books i.e. Reader's Digest Condensed. We have had little success
reselling condensed books. We also do not accept medical books since old books may contain health information that is no longer correct. Since computers are so available to people, we find that they have little need of encyclopedias. All other books and videos are welcome. |
