Friends, and all proceeds go to the Library in the form of gifts. The Friends have funded a variety of public programs, including Spanish and French Circle Time, our unique summer reading program for children, lanyards for kids’ library cards, e-resources for adults and children, and many new research tools, now available on-line.

They are always in need of volunteers to help out at the sale, in two-hour shifts between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Service learning hours are available for high school students – and adult volunteers have an opportunity to spend a pleasant afternoon meeting their neighbors, as well as helping their community Library.

For information on volunteering at the book sale, contact Ellen Robbins at ellenr@takomagov. org or at 301-891-7258.

Donated books must be of general interest, in good condition, and must be brought by appointment if there are more than three boxes. Donated books cannot be accepted at the sale.
