By Paul Kagebein
The Friends of the Garland County Library resumed operations on Wednesday, July 1st. The used book sale room located in the southwest corner of the Garland County Library will reopen and donations from the public will be accepted, with caveats.
Volunteers with the Friends of the Library request all donations of materials made to the library be contained in non-returnable boxes or bags and taken to the library’s main entrance.
Peggy Young, President of the Board of the Friends of the Library, said, “We are happy to be able to reopen the book sale room. We have a large selection of books, magazines, DVDs, audiobooks, tapes, and more available for purchase. We’ve been working hard to restock the sale room with donations made before the library closed. Please stop by and help us support the library.”
Young also notes that all donations made to the library will be quarantined for at least 72 hours before being handled by the volunteers.
All donations made to the library are tax-deductible and proceeds from sales benefit the library’s special programming. The large annual Friends of the Library sale usually held in the spring is tentatively being planned for this fall, depending on guidelines and recommendations from the Health Unit and county officials.
