The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

Reading a hardcover book is just plain good fun – easy on the eyes with that big print, easy to keep open and relax while you enjoy a good story. We have a huge selection of bargain priced library discards in the Bookshelf this week, great books for only $1.00. You can’t ever go wrong.

Remember that the library welcomes donations of gently read books and magazines. Books the library doesn’t need come to the Bookshelf, with all the proceeds benefiting the library. Don’t forget to visit the “back room” of the Bookshelf for newly stocked non-fiction and magazines.
