Did you know that the Friends has a mini book sale area right across from the circulation desk?
One of our board members does a great job rotating stock every week. We have adult fiction & non-fiction, young adult, large print and children's books. Next to the shelves are our mass market paperback rotating stands. Books can be purchased at the Circulation Desk and all funds go to FriendsPLJCS to support our library.
