The library is accepting
donations for the ongoing book sale. Your
donations of gently used or collectible books
are welcomed.
Donors may also
sponsor the expansion of our collection of classic
authors. The Adopt-an-Author program allows the
library to acquire all of the new titles published
by their chosen author. When a new title
becomes available the sponsor is placed 1st in
the hold queue, has her/his name placed on a donor
plate on the title page, and reimburses the library
for the cost of the book. This cost is usually
25-45% off cover price.
