“Having gone so long without this sale, we have thousands of gently used books ready to be purchased,” said Jennifer Ford, president of The Friends of the Library. “These books have been waiting for a new chapter to begin so we hope the community comes out and supports this sale.”
Books cost no more than $1, and all funds go to the Friends of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library.
The Friends of the Library is a nonprofit organization of people working together to support the library. The Friends not only support the library financially, but they also contribute their time, ideas and talents. The Friends have sustained the library in recent years by sponsoring special events, and purchasing a variety of items for the library that are not part of its regular operating budget.
The mission of the Friends of the Library is to actively support the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library by maintaining an association of persons interested in books and libraries; focusing attention on library services and needs; stimulating gifts of books, desirable collections, endowments, and bequests and strengthening reading interest and library information services for young people.
