Book Sales
The Spring and Fall book sales are the main fundraisers for the Friends. Donated books are sorted by Friends volunteers into the various categories and genres during the week preceding the sale. The sale begins on Friday afternoon and runs through Sunday when books go on sale for $10 a bag. Friends volunteers man each day of the sale. Unsold books are donated to other agencies or recycled.
Lobby Book Sales
The ongoing book sale in the lobby raises money for the Friends and is well used by patrons.
Sale Items
Book bags, flash drives and various other items are for sale by the Friends and are available throughout the year at the Circulation and Reference & Information desks.

■ Purchase of incentives for all Summer Reading programs.
■ Sponsor the Summer Reading Program Ice Cream Social.
■ Sponsor the Babysitter Training program in Youth Services.
■ Sponsor the Young Adult Exam Crams.
■ Sponsor the Carnegie Building paver brick program.
■ Purchased the aquarium in Youth Services and share maintenance costs.
■ Purchased Assistive Listening System in Huntley Meeting Room.

■ Purchased book drops (5).
This is just a small portion of what the Friends have contributed over the years.
