Buy a Book - 2023
Buy-a-book
Every summer, supporters of the Library Benefit have generously also supported the future of the library by purchasing books for our younger readers. Children’s books are delightful, entertaining and instructive.
We created a wish list b and are offering you the opportunity to purchase these books for our youth. The average cost of a book is $20.
To purchase a book for our library, email us the name of the book you would like and the wording of the book plate. You may purchase the book at our benefit, send us in the amount of $20 or use the donate button for $22.
When I read to children or recommend books to children during the year, I always highlight the end pages of the book and note any donations. The children love knowing that people care about their love of books. It helps them understand that while the books are free to patrons, they are purchased by someone, cared for by librarians, and shared by all.
Thank you for your generous support.
