Dear Friends,
Join us next Friday, October 17th for the Book Walk ribbon cutting in Efland-Cheeks Park!
The fun will start at 11:00, and will include a children’s craft activity.
If you haven’t yet enjoyed the book trail, be sure to visit the park. The bilingual books provide a fun experience for kids, with a great story and wonderful illustrations.
Book Sale A Big Success!
Our September book sale raised an impressive $4,676.05. Hooray! These funds will go a long way in supporting the Orange County Public Libraries.
Our next book sale will be held Friday, March 13th – Sunday, March 15th, 2026, with a Friends Members-Only presale from 5:00 – 7:00 on Thursday, March 12th. Mark your calendars!
