THANKS FOR GREAT FICTIONAL EVENT!

Thank you for a great Fictional Event! We had dozens of happy customers and sold hundreds of books. I think that the Holiday Trolley had another wonderful success and hopefully we will be back again next year. I hope you all found some books to keep you warm on a chilly December evening as well!

Events like this can only happen when everyone comes together and gives a little time to make the event a success. Thanks to Heather, Lisa H, Lisa B, Jackie, Dave, Ann-Marie, Patty, Pat, Claude, John, Lara, Bonnie, Carolyn, Maryellen, Eve, Chris, Linda and Ellen! Thanks also to the library staff for their support this sale.

Internet Cafe Book Sale Shelf

Visit our expanded Book Sale Shelf, upstairs in the Internet Cafe. We have an excellent selection of fiction and non-fiction, softcover and hardcover. There is also a shelf devoted solely to YA titles. There are no children's books upstairs. All books upstairs are 50 cents each. Please pay downstairs at the circulation desk. We'll continue to stock both the shelf downstairs and the larger location upstairs. Both locations are stocked by the Friends of the Library, which continues to accept donations of books in good condition.

If you don't know where the internet cafe is, go upstairs, turn left and walk as far as the rotunda, then turn left. It's in the old Gale Building, opposite the Mystery Room, where the YA room used to be located, before the renovation.
