Calling all bookworms and spring cleaners!

The Claremont Library Bookstore in need of wonderful, gently loved children's books, especially picture books, written for preschool children and beginning readers.
Helping our public library promote early childhood literacy is a major goal of the Friends of the Claremont Library, and our bookstore earnestly works to support that goal, as well.

Thank you, in advance, for any and all books you donate to us.
