We currently are accepting books, music, and DVDs in good condition in anticipation of the sale on September 25th. Please be sure books are not moldy or damaged and that music and movies are playable the entire way through. We do not accept any magazines, text books, encyclopedias, or Reader’s Digest condensed books. We are interested in book titles that are 5 years old or less.
When we receive your donation, we first sort through
to see if we’d like to add any of the items to our collection. If we don’t add the item(s) to our
collection, we then decide if it is to be sold or to be transferred to a
charitable organization. Please take
care to recycle your unwanted items by helping the environment and your local
library.
Donations can be received during open hours from
Monday-Friday (10-8) and Saturday (10-3).
If you have large amounts of materials, please call ahead so we can be
sure to assist you.
Please do not leave them in our book drop or at any of
our doors when we are not open. Thank you!
T/WEEN
BOOK CLUB: The t/weens in the local area are pretty fabulous
and know how to dive into a book and have fun pulling it apart. We typically
meet on the first Wednesday of the month, and this year we are test driving a
new time of 6:00 PM. Candy and conversation will be served. We appreciate if you would register in
advance so we know how much candy to have on hand! Discussions are geared for
middle-high school.
The September 1st book is ‘The Selection’
by Kiera Cass. Fall in love—from the very beginning. Discover the first book in
the captivating, #1 New York Times bestselling Selection series.

fairy-tale romance, swoonworthy characters, glittering gowns, and fierce

the Dawn. Books are available at the main desk so come on down and check one
out. We have multiple copies set aside.
Can’t pull it together this month to read? Sign up for next month when we are reading
‘Symptoms of Being Human’ by Jeff Garvin. There will be a lot to unpack!
THE
SECRET LIVES OF THE GULL OF APPLEDORE: Gulls often elicit
strong feelings. Thieving French fries at the beach and dumpster diving behind
fast-food restaurants has earned them a negative reputation among humans. Most
people do not know gulls have rich social lives. Pairs often stay together for
many years and equally contribute to the incubation of eggs and raising
hatchlings. Learn about the lives of the gulls that nest every year on
Appledore Island, off the coast of southern Maine. Find out how they care for
their young, how their population is doing in the Gulf of Maine, and how their
individual quirks and personalities play out in the wild.
This exciting program is taking place on Thursday,
September 16th at 6:00 PM. Please register via online calendar or
give us a call to get you on the list. Seating is limited.
