One of the ways the Friends of the Gig Harbor Library support our library is by our ongoing book sale in the outer lobby of the library. Currently we are low in stock of paperback books - trade, mass market, fiction, nonfiction.

Please consider donating your gently used paperback books. Donations are accepted during library hours. Donations can be placed on the cart in the lobby on the left hand side of the lobby.

Thank you!
