Fall Book Sale Dates & Donations Join us for another fall book sale presented by The Friends of the Mendon Public Library! Thank you to the tireless volunteers who organize these sales and to community members like you who contribute books, DVDs, CDs, and games. This is a great chance to get some early Christmas shopping done, mark these dates on your calendar!
We love receiving donations for our book sales! Due to limited space, we sometimes end up with more items than we have room for. As you take advantage of this opportunity to create some more space in your home by generously donating to our book sale, please keep these MPL donation guidelines in mind. If you are interested in volunteering to work the book sale, a schedule and sign-up can be viewed here. Thank you so much for making these book sales possible! |
