New Member Event, plus a collection station for highest quality new and used book donations
The West End Library Friends: New Member Drive + Members-Only Book Donation Event
The West End Library Friends group, a.k.a. WELF, is collecting new & like-new books from newly registered WELF Members to sell at future book sales. New Member signups and Donations will be received in-person on Saturday, September 7, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m at the West End Library.
