Year-Round Book Sale

You don't have to wait until one of our weekend book sales to buy books at the library - we have used books for sale on shelves just inside the front door. And while we only had books for adults there in the past, we now offer children's books as well! All sale books are self-serve and you can leave your money in a lockbox on the shelf. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library, all proceeds go to the library. Meanwhile, don't forget to donate your old unwanted books as well, in one of the boxes just inside the door!
