Friends of the Library Book Sale
Thank you so much for your wonderful support at our bi-annual book sale in November! We made over $500 which will go right back into funding various projects for our patrons.
Our next book sale will be in April of 2012. The library will be taking donations of gently used books, DVDs, audio books, and computer games from now through Dec. 30.
No donations will be accepted (except for recently released bestsellers for inclusion in the Library’s collection) from January 1, 2012 through March 30, 2012 due to weather and storage concerns. Thanks for your support!
There is an ongoing display in the Library lobby of various hardback and paperback books, romance novels, children’s books, VHS tapes and audio books for your perusal. All proceeds from sales of these items go to the Friends of the Preston Public Library (FOL) to be used towards Library projects and activities. Previous use of FOL funds have included passes for local museums, renovation of the entryway and community room, children’s programs, book discussions and speakers.
