The profits from the Friends fund-raising goes right back to the North Shore Library.  The Children’s Department is given funds to help support the programming during the summertime for young readers.  Adult Readers Services uses funds to help buy the rental books so we can have multiple copies of the most popular books ready and on the shelf for those who want to read them.  The librarians submit additional projects they would like funded that are not covered by the regular budget.

For an extra treat, refreshments will be served on Thursday evening and goodies will be on sale during the sale.

So join us for some fun book browsing, to enjoy some wonderful company and to help out your local public library.
