BOOK SALES
Book sales are the major source of fundraising for the BLFF. Proceeds supplement the library’s annual budget for the purchase of a variety of adult, young adult and children’s books, CDs, DVDs, periodicals, etc. They also fund community events sponsored by the BLFF. Materials in the sales are gently used and your donations of such are appreciated.
