The Friends of the Matawan-Aberdeen Public Library held their semi-annual book sale last Saturday, May 14. Fortunately, the weather held out, the sale was able to go on as planned (in Park Avenue next to our building), and preliminary reports have been very positive! The Friends certainly had more book donations than they did in the fall, and profits were up as well.
I want to express my thanks to all those patrons who donated books, those who purchased books, and to all of the Friends who donated their time. The funds brought in from the Friends book sales go to assist the library with projects and services. The latest of these projects is the new TEEN PLACE, which will be installed in June. The Friends are very generously donating the furniture and fixtures for that new area.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the Friends, you can visit their blog for further information: http://mapl-friends.blogspot.com/. The Friends meet on the first Monday of each month in the library's meeting room at 7:30pm.
Just a note: we will not be accepting book donations at this time. We will resume sometime this summer to start collecting for the Friends' next sale. : )
