Spring Used Book Sale

 

The library will hold our annual used book and media sale on Saturday, April 2, 9AM - 1PM...and we're taking donations now to help with that effort.  We're holding the sale the same day as the pancake breakfast at the Jericho Congregational Church, so you can make it a morning outing to the Center for books and a breakfast.  Donations of books and other media such as CDs and DVDs are now being accepted. No textbooks or encyclopedias, please. Contact the library with any questions.
