It’s open! In the library’s lobby is the Friends of the
Library Book Store. Through generous book donations
received from library patrons before the pandemic,
we are able to offer a diverse selection of gently-used
books—including fiction, nonfiction, history, business,
health, and children’s titles—for purchase at a low

we also offer CDs, DVDs, and other media. From 25

there are always bargains to be had. While we cannot
accept any book donations during these precautionary
