Friends of the Library Plans Books In Bags Event

Just in time to get some last-minute stocking stuffers, the Friends of the Wilmington Public Library (FOL) will give you another opportunity to bag some books at the library from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 20.

Mark your calendars for Books in Bags in the basement of the library, 268 N. South St., Wilmington, Ohio. Those attending need to provide their own bags and may also register for door prizes.

The Friends of the Wilmington Public Library is a volunteer group that collects, stocks and rotates books that are available at the library for a monetary donation (but not for resale). The adult book room is located to the immediate left upon entering the main entrance of the library. Children and young adult books are available on a bookshelf across the room from the circulation desk. Most books, except for classics, are no more than 10 years old.

The FOL also donates books to organizations and events that promote reading.

The group welcomes new members who can assist with special events and attend meetings at 2:30 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of every month in the Kirk Room. The group also has a Facebook page and Hayslip can be contacted at (937) 556-8204 if interested in becoming involved.
