Friends Book Donation Day on April 1

Donations of gently used books will be accepted at the Garden City Library on Saturday, April 1, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The Friends of the Garden City Public Library request that the items be in saleable condition. Please do not include magazines or textbooks. Also, books that are soiled, have evidence of mold, or have pages that are underlined, mildewed or written on, should not be sent. Please limit your donation to two bags or boxes of books per family.

All of the donated items become the property of the Friends of the Garden City Library. The Friends are most grateful for all the patrons who support the library by taking the time to follow these guidelines and make donations.

While you are at the library, it would be a great time to check out the Book Sale Area, now temporarily located in the Reference Section of the building.

The money raised by the Friends provide the library with the ability to offer its patrons Museum Passes, and greatly expands and enhances the library’s Adult, Young Adult and Children’s Programs.

The Friends are always looking for new Friends to ensure that their mission of generous service can continue. If you are interested in joining the Friends of the Garden City Library in a more active capacity, please leave your name at the Circulation Desk, or call 516-873-6332 for more information.
