MEREDITH — The Friends of the Meredith Library will host their second of three annual book sales in 2022 on Thursday, May 19 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday, May 20 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday, May 21 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The sale will be held on the main floor in the new community room. Remember that the new parking lot located at the back of the library (off High Street) offers convenient access to the main floor.

The mission of the Friends of the Meredith Library is to promote library involvement in the community and community involvement in the library. Proceeds from all book sales benefit patrons in many ways. They provide funds for children and adult reading programs, passes to the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, Castle in the Clouds and various museums; access to ancestry and genealogy programs and guest speakers from the New Hampshire Humanities Council to name just a few.

There is no admission to the book sale but donations are accepted. Become a new member of the Friends, (Individuals $15, Family $25 and Business $50), and you will receive an attractive canvas book bag which in turn can be filled with books (one time), free of charge. Memberships (optional) may be updated any day during the event. Book dealers are welcome and scanners are permitted at any time during the sale.

We do accept book donations. However, keep the following in mind: Donate only books that you would purchase for yourself or a friend. The condition of the books does matter. The Friends of the Library have members that check through each and every book and box of donated books. Note that the libraryl does not accept textbooks, encyclopedias, Readers’ Digest condensed books, magazines or VHS.
