"What
do you do with the money from the book sale?" There are two annual book
sales at the Newton Falls Public Library, one in the spring and one in the fall.
There's also a small cart in the lobby where people can buy books year-round. All
sales are put on by the Friends of the Newton Falls Public Library.
The
Friends of the Library is a non-profit organization founded in 1979 dedicated
to supporting the library. The money from the book sale, as well as what's
brought in from their other fundraisers, pays for supplies, prizes, and special
programs during Summer Reading. The money also goes toward projects to improve
the library, such as siding the garage, and all of our other speakers and
programs throughout the year, including the Harvest Fest.
Along
with running the book sales, the Friends also volunteer at the library and
sponsor programs like the Annual Poetry and Short Prose contest. Membership is
open to anyone, and those interested can pick up an application at the
library's circulation desk. The Friends of the Library are currently running a
spring membership drive, and any new or renewed memberships between March 3 and
May 20 will be entered into a drawing to win a Kindle Fire HD, so it's an
excellent time to join for anyone who's interested.
