Welcome to the Friends Corner
The Friends of the Library hopes that your holidays were all you wanted them to be, that you stayed warm and cozy during our chilly January AND that you are now ready to join other Orcas residents for the Annual Winter Book Sale.
We will be offering you an entirely new selection of books that have been donated since our Library Fair last August. What do you like to read? We’ve probably got a wide choice for you. Do you want mystery? Non fiction? Books for children and young readers? Cookbooks? Health? Education? Religious? Western? OK, you get the idea. These areas and more will be represented.
Come see for yourself and enjoy the experience. The Winter Book Sale of 2012 will be held on Saturday, February 25 from 10-2 (only!) at the Orcas Island Public School cafeteria. One dollar will buy you a paperback and $2 will buy a hardback.
We look forward to seeing you there.
