A Message From Our Friends

"Any time of the year is a good time to snuggle up with a good book to read. For those veteran book sale shoppers, I’m sure you’ve already made note that November is the month the Friends of the Sodus Community Library hold their Annual Hardcover Book Sale. Stocking up on books is a pre- winter activity for many people, and a great way to get some extra Christmas presents that will last a long winter. Because we categorize and alphabetize, your shopping experience is stress free and you can browse to your heart's content.

Our sale will be held Thursday, November 6th from 10:00 – 7:00, Friday, November 7th from 10:00 – 4:00 and ‘Bag Day Saturday’, November 8th from 10:00 – 3:00. We are located at 17 Maple Avenue. You may direct any questions to 483-9292 and the staff will be more than happy to give you answers.

Attending our book sales is a great way to support your Library. All proceeds are used to purchase items not included in the annual Library budget. The Friends Book Sale fundraiser is a win-win situation; you are able to benefit from great bargains and the Library is able to provide ‘Wish List’ items, many for public use. Check out the fulfilled, ‘Wish List’ in the Library lobby to see what we’ve accomplished with your help. Just a reminder, you can join our Friends Group for as little as $5.00 a year….Join the Friends…… Join the fun. See you at the Library soon."
