Bring Us Your Books and Media Items!

Our In-Person and Online Book Sales are our main fundraisers and we depend on your book and media donations to make the sales successful. We always appreciate your donations of good, clean, saleable books, CDs, Vinyl Records, audiobooks, DVDs, puzzles, and board games.

Please do NOT bring outdated (before 2000) Textbooks, Medical Books, Exercise Books, Diet Books, or Audio Cassettes.

Check News and Events above for our donation days or email us at friends@ffcpl.org to make an appointment for a donation drop off.

 

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!
