Save the dates! Our Spring Book Sale will be held May 15 and 16, 2026. The location will be the West Wing of the Flushing Senior Center (site of the former Flushing Library). More details will follow.

Donations of clean, gently used books, CD's, DVD's, and puzzles may be dropped off at the Library during regular business hours. Due to space limitations, please limit donations to 3 or 4 bags or small boxes at a time. Your donations have been the mainstay of our sales over the years and have helped to make it one of the best in the area. Thank You!

Warm Wishes from our Librarian, Sally-A: "Oh, the weather outside is frightful ( oh so cold!), but the library is delightful (and 70 degrees), and since your mind wants places to go....borrow a book, borrow a book, borrow a book!" We have cozy seating, hope to see you soon.

A HUGE THANK YOU to all who helped set up, work the sale, and clean up. A HUGE THANK YOU to all who donated books, boxes, and bags and who shopped with us. A HUGE THANK YOU to the Senior Center for their help and the wonderful sale space!

Dear Friends of the Friends of the Flushing Area Library--we are looking for some help for our sale. We could use boxes. Remember, these are for books, so they should be about the size of a banker's box. These would be for customers with large orders and will also be needed to pack up unsold books for the bookseller to pick up. And, if you have a few spare bags -- paper, plastic, and/or cloth--we can use those as well. You may drop off boxes and/or bags on Wednesday, October 15 from 1:30 - 4:00 at the former library on Maple Street. We are grateful for all your support and thank you in advance. Sincerely, The Friends Group

Though the poster says, "used," we prefer "previously enjoyed." This book sale will be the biggest in recent years. As usual, our community has been very generous. But this time, we received a lot (a very lot) of books from our library. In order to fit into the new, smaller space, books had to be weeded out and were donated to the Friends for our sale. So help us re-home these books. Think Christmas shopping!! Stock up for your winter reading! See you at the sale.

Clifford is a bit lonely in his new house. He can't wait until Monday, October 6, when the library will open for the first time in the new location. Check out Clifford's new digs! And stop in next week to support our Library Staff as they begin to work through the adjustment phase of the move.
