Book sale at Meredith Library Aug. 15-27

MEREDITH — The Friends of the Meredith Library has scheduled their next book sale. Mark your calendars for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 25-27. The Friends have been very fortunate to have received, over the past many years, donated books for our yearly book sales. Recently, due to the construction of the new library addition and COVID-19 the library had to curtail accepting books for their book sales. However, they are now back and ready to accept your donated books.

The Friends would like to remind you that the donations must be in good condition. What does this mean? Rule of thumb: if you wouldn’t buy it or give it to a friend, think twice about donating it. Condition matters — if your items have any of the following issues, they usually won’t be accepted:

Paperback and hardcover books must be clean, free of smoke and mold smells, no water damage or damage to binding or pages, and no excessive writing or highlighting.

Music CDs, audio books, DVDs should all be in good condition and in their original packaging.

The Friends do not accept:

Readers Digest condensed books; magazines; textbooks; or encyclopedias.

Donations are accepted any time that the library is open. Go to the front desk to inquire about where to drop off your donated items.

While at the library visit the new Book Store. Books are available at a very low cost and/or by donation. The store will only be open when volunteers are present. Signage inside and outside of the library will inform patrons of its opening. Access is via the elevator to the basement.
