Friends of the Library Annual Book Sale

Now a fixture on the Celtic Festival calendar, the Friends of the Library Annual Book Sale is on again at Glen Innes Scout Hall.

Funds raised from the Book Sale have supported the Glen Innes Severn Public and TAFE Library for many years, providing extras which have enhanced this treasured local institution.

The Friends have contributed to the Library in different practical ways. For example, they have donated large print books, a shade sail for the outdoor area, outdoor seating and audio books.

In addition, the Friends have been able to support a range of educational activities for children, such as donations to all small school libraries in the area, Glen Innes Toy Library’s Mini Muso project, Glen Innes Preschool’s outdoor library, and for young people – assistance with the Behind the Wheel learner driver education program.

If you would like to donate used books in good condition, please leave them at the Library by 28 April. With the exception of very special or rare books, all books will be just $2 each and children’s books will be 50 cents each. Please note that it is CASH ONLY and bring your own bag – you will need it!

Interested in becoming a Friend of the Library? The Friends would love to welcome you. To find out more about what is involved, please contact the Library on 6730 2600.
