Book Sale Revised Dates

Due to the anticipated crowds in Hawley on May 30th we will not hold a book sale on that date.

Activities for the Friends

As spring is here despite the cool temperatures, the Friends are busy planing our spring/summer activities.

• We will be participating in the craft sale at Bingham Park on June 13. Our table will hold hand crafted items made by friends of our Library. We are hoping to receive additional donations. If you have a hand crafted item you would like to donate it can be dropped off at the Library. Please attach your name to the item as we want to be sure to acknowledge your donation. Thanks you for your support
• Tentative dates for spring/summer book sales are April 25, May 9 and 30, June 13 and 27, July 11 and 25, August 8 and 22, and September 12 and 26. Please check back at the blog for further information on what the "sale" will be. We anticipate that all sales will be from 10 AM to 2 PM.
• Our public meeting is sent for June 24th at 5:00 PM at the Library. This meeting generally lasts about one hour - you are cordially invited.

A Donation to the Library

In December 2008 the Board of the Friends of the Hawley Public Library voted to give a $5,000 donation to the Library. This is the second year the Friends organization has given that amount to the Library. Last year's funds were used for a computer, printer, patron desks and a bike rack. Our financial support to the Library is made possible by the generous donations we receive as well as various fund raising activities such as our book sales. We are excited to again assist the Library and thank all who have supported our efforts.

October Sales

Our last book sale sure did move a lot of paperbacks! We estimate that we sold over 600 paperbacks that day. Thanks to all who stopped by.

Our October book sale will be this Saturday Oct. 4 from 10 AM to 2 PM. All nonfiction books will be 25% off during the sale. Please stop by - we have a number of nonfiction books including titles dealing with history, travel, biography and autobiography, self help, sports and gardening.

A Book Sale and A Craft Sale

The Friends have been busy this summer preparing for a table at the Hawley fair at the Park this Saturday, Sept. 13th. We have many homemade items for sale and hope you will stop by to say "hi".

We also will be having a book sale at the Library - lower level. All paperback fiction books will be 5 books for $1. This sale will be Saturday, Sept. 13 during the hours of 10 AM to 2 PM. So you can stop at the Park as well as visit us at the Library. A great way to shop! Hope to see you Saturday.

Our End of Summer sale

Unfortunately, the large sign we usually put out on the front lawn was not available so the traffic we got for our sale Saturday was smaller than usual. We did make $110 from sales and than all of you for checking us out. We will be having another sale September 13th. Please check back next week for further information.
We took a video of the books on the shelves and I'm attempting to send it to the blog. We wanted you all to see how many books we have. Please let us know what you think of the video.
