Book Store and other sales
The Friends of the Eagle Public Library used book store is located in the Library’s lobby and is open during normal library operating hours.
The Friends hold two larger used book sales during the year. Sales and events are announced in advance to members by email and to the public through the Friends of the Eagle Public Library facebook page. Become a member and follow the Friends on Facebook. [I think the Friends should do this and take on responsibility for minimal online marketing]

Join the Friends
Friends members support the idea that a library is a valuable community asset that needs nourishment and support above its set budget. They believe in the value of books and reading, regard a library as an impartial, reliable information center, and look upon it as a dynamic agency for the education of all.
The Friends of the Eagle Public Library group is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that raises funds to benefit the library through book sales and memberships.
