Calling all bookworms and spring cleaners!

The Claremont Library Bookstore in need of wonderful, gently loved children's books, especially picture books, written for preschool children and beginning readers.
Helping our public library promote early childhood literacy is a major goal of the Friends of the Claremont Library, and our bookstore earnestly works to support that goal, as well.

Thank you, in advance, for any and all books you donate to us.

You are invited to register to attend our annual For the Love of Books event, taking place at the Mt San Antonio Gardens on Sunday afternoon, April 26 at 2:00.

Our speaker this year may be familiar to you - our former Claremont Helen Renwick Library Manager, Amy Crow. She will be presenting some eye-opening information about the many services that the modern library is able to provide for community members.

There is no charge to attend, but because of limited space, we ask that you gather friends and register as the spots fill quickly.

In addition, the Friends of the Claremont Library will be bringing a fine selection of books from their bookstore, priced to sell. Cash or checks please.

Hope to see you there!
