Items Sought For Upcoming Used Book Sale

The following is an announcement from the Friends of the Lynnfield Library:

The Friends of the Lynnfield Library are actively seeking donations of gently used books, music CDs, and DVDs in preparation for the popular annual Used Book Sale in October.  To assist residents who would like to donate materials, the Friends offer a home pick-up service.  If you have paperbacks, hardcover books, music CDs, or DVDs to donate, simply call Friends’ Board Member Alexis Gilbode at 781-608-4179 to arrange a time for a Friends' volunteer to pick up your donations at home and provide you with a receipt.  Otherwise, please leave boxed or bagged donations at the circulation desk or in the Library foyer. Small and large adult paperbacks, DVDs, music CDs, and hardcover or paperback children’s and young adult books are needed.

            “Because people have so many options about where to donate,” said Nancy Ryan, Director of Lynnfield Library, “we strive to make the donation process as convenient as possible. The fall Book Sale has been our primary fundraiser for many years and we hope to continue the tradition." Items that go unsold will be offered to benefit other local community organizations.

The annual Used Book Sale will take place on Saturday, October 20 in the Meeting House from 9am to 2pm. The "Bag of Books for $4.00 Sale" will take place from 1pm to 2pm. We provide the bags. The Friends’ Preview will take place at the Meeting House on Friday, October 19 from 6pm to 8pm.  To be eligible to attend the Friends’ Preview, individuals must be a member or join the organization that evening. All are welcome. Information on joining the Friends is available on the organization’s website: www.foll.org.

All donations to the Book Sale support The Friends of the Lynnfield Library. The Friends is a non-profit organization that supports the many programs and activities of the Library both financially and through hundreds of volunteer hours each year. The web site also includes more information about the Friends and their support of the Library: www.foll.org.
