Friends of Montclair Library

Thanks to our friends and neighbors for another great book sale last weekend – we’re always so thrilled by the community response and happy to be able to raise money that goes right back into the Montclair branch. In the coming months you will see your donations in action as the Friends of Montclair Library recently gave money to the branch to buy more story-time materials and augment the adult materials budget.

Sorting books for the sale is one of my favorite activities, because I get to hang out with the other Friends members and see all the cool books the community donates. I also like seeing the interesting things people leave behind in the books they donate: A hand-written guacamole recipe, a Kowloon airport transfer ticket, the 1989-90 Pittsburgh Penguins pocket schedule. If you left your new AAA card in one of the books you donated, though, please contact the library for details on getting it back.
