Book Nook - The Year-Round Booksale!

The Friends sponsors an area just inside the main library across from the circulation desk stocked year-round with books for sale. Books are priced from $0.50 to $5.00, and payment is on the honor system using a cash box. There are no provisions for making change so please bring change or small bills. Please stop and shop with us when you are in the library!
