The Friends’ annual book sale is highly anticipated and is the single most important fundraiser for our organization.  Proceeds from the book sale go directly toward library programming.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

  • Donate!  You may drop off your donations at the book shed (to the right of the library).   We have installed a book drop where you may drop off your unboxed donations (up to two boxes). If you have more than two boxes or are unable to drop them off, please contact us at friends@friendstopshamlibrary.org to make arrangements. We happily accept donations of gently used books, CDs, and DVDs. 
  • Volunteer!  We are always in need of volunteers to help sort books as they come in, to help with pre-sale set up, to man the sale and assist patrons, and to help with end of sale clean up. Contact us at friends@friendstopshamlibrary.org if you are interested in helping out.
