What an amazing community we live in. The Town of Kent definitely loves to support its library and in spite of difficult financial times for many – or perhaps due to budget restraints - the Friends of Kent Library Spring Book Sale was an enormous success. You helped us smash our previous book sale record. More than $5000 was raised and will be used to support our library. The success of this book sale was due in part to the many volunteers who graciously give up part – or all – of their holiday weekend to work at the sale. Even more volunteers help prepare for the sale by spending fun and friendly Monday morning hours in the library basement sorting through the thousands of donated books that come our way.
Our book sale has become a favorite event for Kent young people who need to fulfill their Community Service requirements. And how we enjoy having all of you among us. Judging from the books you take home after a long day’s work, I know you enjoy being part of this fundraising event. It is so reassuring to see so many of you. Please come back – anytime!
The Friends of Kent Library thank each and every one of you, volunteers and book lovers all, for supporting the book sale. We’ll look forward to seeing you again in the fall for the next book sale!
