For more information about the Annual Used Book Sale, please call the Library at 231-326-5361.
If you are unable to attend the event, the Friends would like to remind area residents and visitors to check out the Library vestibule for reasonably priced book selections featuring gently used book-club picks and recent titles. The choices change frequently, so there’s always something of interest for everyone. Remember, your purchase will directly benefit the Library.
Funds raised by the Friends contribute to ongoing programs, such as the preschool children’s “Stories and More,” general and special collections, as well as future capital needs of the Glen Lake Community Library. This year the Friends have underwritten the purchase of scores of DVDs to replace popular VHS tapes as well as upgrades of many audio books from cassettes to CDs.
