💎 That's a wrap on our Spring Giant Donated Jewelry Sale, and what a weekend it was! A huge thank you to everyone who donated, shopped, and volunteered their time to make it such a success.

Funds raised go directly toward supporting the programs you love at the Summit Library, from the Library of Things and Museum Passes to so much more. Every purchase made a real difference!

Can't wait until next time? Mark your calendars: our next Giant Donated Jewelry Sale is November 13, 14 & 15!

And if you have jewelry to donate, the library accepts donations year-round at the front desk at 75 Maple St, Summit. Every piece helps make the next sale even better! 📚

Wowza! It takes a village.

Thanks to everyone who came out this weekend and bought jewelry at our Giant Donated Jewelry Sale. We will be able to continue to support the Summit Free Public Library in a very meaningful way with wonderful programming, museum passes, a great selection of "Things" to borrow, fun crafts, reading programs, and so much more.

A HUGE THANK YOU to the many volunteers who worked tirelessly for many weeks leading up to the sale and then during the entire weekend sorting, cleaning, displaying, selling, restocking, and cleaning up all the items.

We won't sleep! During our "off season" we will be working on growing our membership, finding corporate sponsors, improving our tech, displays, communication, and so much more. And we could use your help! We swear it's fun. If you can support the library with your time to help us reach our goals, then please contact us. Either comment here or email us at [email protected].
