Our Spring Used Book Sale over the weekend of March 27-29 was a great success. We want to thank all of our volunteers, as well as Trader Joe's, for their generosity in providing bags.

Thanks to all of our volunteers, we had another successful November used book sale. We would especially like to thank the local stores who generously donated bags: Fresh Thyme, D&W, and Aldis.

Have any books gathering dust, but don’t have the time to haul them away? The Friends of the EGR Library (FOTL) is offering a new, free service: Mobile Book Donation. We’ll come to your house and deliver your books straight to the library, where they’ll be donated to FOTL’s Corner Book Shop, eBay store, or our bi-annual used book sale. We’ll even pack your books for you! All proceeds benefit the East Grand Rapids Library. Please contact Bona Van Dis at bona@vandis.co to set
