The Friends of the Library Association, FOLA, has announced that their Used Book Store has a new name, The Book Nook by FOLA. FOLA wanted a new name to fit more in keeping with the new space they acquired after the building renovations. The Book Nook is located on the first floor of the library to the right after walking through the main lobby area. It is in a little nook and therefore the shop is now The Book Nook by FOLA. Signs will be put up shortly to identify this area.
FOLA has had a running used book sale area for over seven years now. Monies raised from the sale of used books and magazines go to purchase additional books for our Children’s collection. Thousands of dollars are raised each year by FOLA simply by selling donated books and magazines. FOLA is currently accepting clean, gently used books, paperbacks and magazines. Text books and encyclopedias are not accepted nor time dated magazines such as Time or Newsweek. Donations can be dropped off at the Circulation Counter in the Main Lobby and tax forms for your donation are available upon request.
The Scholastic Book Fair will begin May 28th in the Children’s Department and continue for two weeks. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase books for children at half price. Books make great birthday presents and by purchasing them at the library you help yourself save money and help the library earn money to purchase additional books for the collection.
The library will be closed May 30th for Maintenance work and on May 31st for the observance of Memorial Day.
The Bookmobile is in for regular maintenance and will begin its summer schedule in June.
