An Embarrassment of Riches (Book-Style) and We're Sharing!
The Friends of the Carroll Gardens Library are thrilled and overwhelmed with the amount of books we received when we put out our call for donations for this year's Book Sale.
As Secretary of the Friends of the Carroll Gardens Library, I know I speak for everyone in the group when I say we are thrilled and overwhelmed with the amount of books we received when we put out our call for donations for this year's "Love Your Library" Annual Book Sale and Community Celebration. By all counts, it appears that there are well over 10,000 books available for upcoming May 19 book sale, and at prices like $1 to $3, we'll hope you come by to help a great cause and grab a few great titles.
Friends of the Carroll Gardens Library (FCGL) supports the library by fundraising and helping to make the Carroll Gardens branch a hub of the community with programs for children, youth and adults all year round.
FCGL’s annual fundraiser is a huge book sale and community celebration on Saturday, May 19, Love Your Library Day, from 10 AM-4 PM. In addition to the book sale, the group is celebrating our community with a line up of cool entertainment including readings by children's authors and local residents Josh Lewis, author of the Super Chicken Nugget Boy series and Lela Nargi, author of The Honeybee Man, a finalist for the Cook prize for children's science writing; art activities with Curious Jane, and more! Brooklyn Public Library t-shirts will be available for sale and we'll have another delicious bake sale - all to raise money for the library and raise awareness of how important libraries are to the community.
FCGL holds monthly meetings and everyone is invited to share their ideas and energy. FCGL’s website is http://friendsofcglibrary.blogspot.com/ and FCGL can be found on Facebook at Facebook.com/FriendsofCarrollGardensLibrary and Twitter at Twitter.com/FriendCGLibrary.
We hope to see you there!
