Friends of the Library Book Sale Saturday

You may have noticed the sandwich board signs popping up around town advertising the Book Sale on Saturday, but you may not know exactly what it is and who puts it together. 

If you haven't been and like to read, you may want to check it out.  The sale is held in the Library meeting room.  There are tables and tables of books in good condition in all genres, all for only a couple of dollars.  Most importantly, all the money collected directly benefits the Library via the Friends of the Library.  At this sale, the Clearwater Juniorettes will be selling baked goods, so you can have a delicious cookie or brownie while you shop.

What are the Friends?

The Friends of the Library is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that raises money through quarterly book sales, an in-house Book Store, City of Safety Harbor 3rd Friday sales, and other events allowing them to contribute to services and funding to supplement the Library's budget.

Who are Friends?

People from all walks of life who use and love the library and want to make a difference.

Friends participate in various committees and library functions that contribute services and capital beyond the Library’s annual budget.
