Another busy weekend for booksales and more is coming up!

As you've likely heard, on Saturday, June 6th from 9AM-2PM, the Andover Friends of the Library are holding their AFoL Book & Bake Sale! The location for this one is going to be the Andover Town Hall Communty Room on School Road (specifically, this is the room where Andover elections are held). Anyhow, we're still in the process of collecting donations of gently-used books for this sale, so if you have any you might like to donate, kindly get them to the library by 7PM on Wednesday, June 3rd. The Friends will take your gently-used fiction & nonfiction books for adults & kids, as well as playable CDs and DVDs. We ask that you DO NOT DONATE textbooks or former library books. Thank you!!
