Fundraising
The Friends of the Library operates used book sales usually twice a year in the auditorium of the McLaughlin branch. Upcoming sales will be posted on the library website.
Throughout the year, a selection of used books and magazines for sale can be found at all four branches. Customers can choose a book and donate to the Library through the Friends. No contribution is too small!
