Friends of the Library
Do you have lots of books sitting around, cluttering your house? Why not donate them to the library for others to buy and read? The friends of the library welcomes all your donations of gently-used books, CDs, DVDs, magazines and sheet music. Feel free to go through our collection and purchase a few things as well. All proceeds go back to the library. The friends next meeting will be at 1 p.m. Tuesday, May 5, in the library meeting room. The friends are also selling cloth book bags for $12. Come in and purchase a bag at the circulation desk upstairs and support your local library. Look for more details in future articles about the upcoming book sale in May during Milford Fest.
