The Friends often get very special donations- large, expensive, heavy, and beautiful. In fact, the large and heavy factors make it impractical for us to offer them on-line. So, they go in the Friends Store and are only publicly announced on our Facebook page! And there will often be a discount for current members of the Friends.

Visit the Friends Store located near the entrance of the Library.  Hardcover and paperback books, movies and books on tape, and selected gift items are stocked. Many are in excellent condition thanks to the generous donations from citizens.
Our regular prices are

Hardback and trade paperback books     $2
Mass market paperback books     50¢
Media for adults     $2
