Recycled Book Art Workshop for Members!
Friends members are invited to a member Social event to learn how to create holiday trees from books that would otherwise be recycled. Please join us on Thursday, October 9 from 1:00-2:30 in the Library's Community Room.
We’ll all learn together and we’ll make as many as we can during the Social to be sold in the Bookstore in November and December.
All materials and hands-on instructions will be provided, along with refreshments and social time. Folding the trees is easy, so easy in fact that you can visit and get to know other volunteers and members as you work!
Please email friends@marionpubliclibrary.org to let us know you can come.
Come have some crafty fun with us!
We Welcome Your Donations
We are happy to accept your donations of gently used hardcover, softcover, and children's books. Please use your good judgement; if the book is too worn for your personal collection, it's unlikely we can re-sell it.
We do not accept donations of music CDs, DVDs, or other media. We will accept magazines if they are no older than two months.
Drop off your donations to our friendly bookstore volunteers anytime during regular library hours, or if you'll need assistance getting your books into the library, email FriendsBookDonations@marionpubliclibrary.org to arrange a time. We can provide receipts for tax purposes.
Thanks for supporting the library!
