📚 The Fall Book Sale is coming! And there’s a lot more to it than books. 💛

For more than 30 years, the Friends of the Clarkston Independence District Library have brought our community together through book sales and other events that raise money to support our library.

And this one is BIG.
📚 12,000+ books, movies, music, puzzles, games & more
💰 Most books just $1–$2
🛍️ $5 Bag Day on Saturday
❤️ A huge selection for readers of all ages

But here's the part we really want you to know:
Every purchase helps the Friends give back to the library. Your support helps fund programs, events, materials, and special projects that benefit our entire community.

And it takes a community to make the sale happen! More than 100 volunteers help sort, organize, set up, sell, and clean up. Whether you shop, volunteer, donate, or become a member, you are part of the Friends.

We're always collecting books for our next book sale. Our Fall Book Sale is Sept 24-26. As a reminder we did not receive the required donations and have cancelled our Summer Children's Book Sale in June, but look for all the great books we've collected in the fall.

Thank you to everyone who donated children's books, games, puzzles, DVDs, and music after our Spring Book Sale. We are so grateful for your support! 💛

After our Spring Book Sale ended on May 2, we had just six weeks to build inventory for a June 15 Children's Book Sale. While we've received many wonderful donations, we simply haven't collected enough materials yet to offer the kind of sale we want for our community.

Rather than hold a smaller event, we're going to spend the summer building an even better children's collection for our Fall Book Sale on September 24–26.

The good news:
📚 Every donation we've received will be featured in the Fall Sale.
📚 We're still accepting children's books, board books, picture books, chapter books, DVDs, games, and puzzles all summer long.
📚 Looking for children's books now? Check out the Friends Book Sale carts in the library lobby. They're regularly stocked with great finds for young readers.

We're disappointed, too, but we're already looking ahead and hope you'll help us make the Fall Sale our best one yet. Thank you for being part of our library community!
