Visit Our On-going Book Sale Located Near the Library Front Entrance
Our books are priced at 50¢ for any paperback and $1.00 for each hardcover book. The selection changes every time someone donates books to the sale. Please note: the Library is happy to accept fiction or non-fiction items, but please, no magazines. You can even pick up some books just to fill empty shelves and impress your friends with your literary leanings!
Donations
A Peek-A-Book Kiosk was donated by the Friends of the Library. Go to the Children's Department to view this interactive technology up close! Children can watch book reviews featuring puppets and book selection readings. Two headphones are available for children to listen, and the books being reviewed are available on the kiosk bookshelves for checkout.
The Friends have also provided monies to attain Spanish language materials for adult and children. They have also been able to provide payments for school bus service so that area children can visit the library. A beautiful rug can be seen in the children's play area, and a new globe can be found by the Children's Reference Desk. In the past, new tables for the meeting room have been acquired along with the Crocodile Board Book Display in the Children's Area.
Holiday gift wrapping has been done for monetary donations at the Barnes & Noble store in Spring Hill Mall.
