As a Friends' member you can choose your own level of involvement.

Donations Days for
Friends of the Library Book Sale
The Friends of the Great Falls Public Library have announced they will be holding special book donation days in preparation for their annual used book sale to be held in May.
If you have items you’d like to donate for this sale, you can bring them in on scheduled donation days. The advantage of the donation days is especially noticeable for those with more than a small donation. On these scheduled donation days, you bring your items to the library’s garage, in the alley behind the building. Volunteers will be available to assist, especially with transferring donations from your car to the building.
| Donation days are as follows: |
| Saturday, Jan. 14, 10 am – 2 pm |
| Saturday, Feb. 11, 10 am – 2 pm |
| Saturday, March 10, 10 am – 2 pm |
| Saturday, March 31, 10 am – 2 pm |
| Saturday, April 14, 10 am – 2 pm |
| Saturday, April 28, 10 am – 2 pm |
|
All donations are appreciated, but the Friends will not accept the following:
- Items in poor condition
- Magazines
- Encyclopedias
- Condensed Reader’s Digests
|
You can bring your donations into the library anytime during operating hours, but assistance cannot be guaranteed except on scheduled donation days. Proceeds from the book sale are used to sponsor special library programs and projects that the library’s budget cannot cover. Anyone interested in more details, volunteering for the book sale or donating books can contact Jude Smith at 453-0349 or .
