AMAZON SALES
Do you know that The Friends are selling high quality books on Amazon.com????
Visit www.amazon.com. In the search box, type Friends of Adamstown Library. You will then see a listing of our available books. Click on a book, then look for our name under Seller on the right side of the page. All proceeds from the Amazon sales will benefit the building fund for our new library. Happy Shopping!
Our Amazon team is busily working away and it is highly successful with our online sales. In fact, some additional help would be most welcome. A few minutes of training is all that is needed if you enjoy doing some computer time. If interested, leave your information with the staff at the library checkout desk.
HELP WANTED !! Can you lift up to 40 pounds?? Can you spare an hour a week or whatever your schedule allows? We really need help in moving bags and boxes of donated books to our bottom level book sorting area. If you can help us, please give your name and contact information to the library staff. Thank you so much.
Check out the library website to see the fundraising activities of the Trustees.
