Spring Book Sale April 26 -29, 2012.
Book Sales

Twice a year dedicated volunteers hold a large used book sale at the library.  Many library supporters donate used books to be sold at the book sales that are eagerly awaited by book lovers.

 

Your donations are welcome anytime during library hours (up until two weeks before the sale.)  There is a cart inside the east door of the library where books can be left.  If you would like a donation receipt for tax purposes, please request one from the check out desk.

 

The books are sorted and organized for the sale that is held at the library in the Fall and Spring.  This is a huge fund-raiser for the library.  Make room on your shelves by donating books, then fill them up again by attending the book sale to buy the interesting books available! 


Recently we have been having Antiquarian Book Sales where we sell our more valuable and collectible books. 

 

Used books are also available for purchase year-round in the bookstore located inside the library’s east entrance.

Book Store

Year round in the east lobby of the library, shelves are filled with used books for sale.  These shelves are filled at least weekly with new books, so look often.  Many bestsellers are available here.  Take time to browse and buy used books that support the Friends.


Book Donations

Your donations are welcome anytime during library hours.  There is a cart inside the east door of the library where books can be left.  Please do not leave them outside the library or in the book drop slot.  That bin is for library books only.

If you would like a donation receipt for tax purposes, please request one from the check out desk.  If you have questions about what we accept, please e-mail us at friendsofclaremontlibrary@gmail.com




Wanted:  Volunteers for book sorting


Our book sale volunteers meet regularly to sort the many donated books for sale in our book store at the library (in the east lobby) and for our semi-annual book sale.  We are looking for people who are familiar with books to sort books, look up values online, stock our bookstore and otherwise help this committee.

 

If you love books, consider joining this group of volunteers.  Many find it an interesting job to sort through books new and old and help the library with it’s biggest fundraiser, selling used books.  If you are interested in volunteering or have questions,  call Barbara Musselman at  (909) 596-1760.
