The Friends of Plumb Library are pleased to announce their Spring Book Sale. The sale will take place from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm Friday April 25 and from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm Saturday April 26 in the Library’s Downstairs Program Room. This area is handicapped accessible via a lift. On sale will be gently-used books, CDs, DVDs, puzzles, and games for kids and adults. The Library will be accepting donations for the sale. Please box or bag donations and drop them off only when the Library is open (see hours of operation listed below). Do not leave donated items in the bookdrop or on the steps.
The Spring Sale is also an opportunity for you to sign up for a Friends Membership or renew a lapsed membership. You can pay by cash or check and Individual Memberships start at just $20. The Friends of the Library are the non-profit, fundraising arm of Plumb Library and are instrumental in keeping programming for all ages coming to the Library. They help fund our Summer Reading Program, bring guest speakers to the building, subscribe to BookPage (a monthly book review publication free for patrons to take), and help stock our Library of Things collection. They are always looking for new members and many hands make light work.
The Friends will also be holding a Clothing & Book Drive in conjunction with Savers of New Bedford from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm Saturday May 10. A U-haul truck will be in the Library’s parking lot on New Bedford Rd., just drive up and load in your donations. Savers will accept only resale quality clothing, shoes, purses, accessories, soft household goods such as curtains, bedding, and throw pillows, small kitchen items, and books. Please bag the soft goods and box the books separately. All proceeds from this drive and the book sale directly benefit the Friends.
The Library needs Trustees and Friends Board Members. If you’re interested in the inner workings of your Library, please contact Kristen Cardoso, Director, for more information about possible openings on both boards. Trustee candidates will need to take out nomination papers from Town Hall to get on the spring Town Election ballot.
Note: the Library will be closed on Monday April 21 for Patriot’s Day.
Please remember that library cards are required for checkout. If you have lost your card, it can be replaced for a $2.00 fee. Always have your card with you by uploading it to the SAILS Mobile app. It’s quick and easy and we’re happy to show you how it works.
