What perfect timing!
October 19 through 25 is National Friends of Libraries Week and also
happens to be the week of the annual fall used book sale held by the Friends of
Ridgefield Library. Taking place for the first time on the Lower Level of the
new Ridgefield Library, the sale begins on Friday the 24th and runs
through Monday the 27th, with thousands of attractively priced
titles in all categories, from children’s favorites to cookbooks.
Proceeds from book sales allow the Friends to sponsor some
of the Library’s most popular activities. During Friends of Libraries Week
these include the monthly Poetry Discussion (focusing this month on World War I
era poet Wilfred Owen) and the seasonal intergenerational program Reading is a
Family Affair. Children in grades 3 - 5
together with an adult are invited to a very special book discussion following
a pizza dinner. Register at the Children's Services desk and receive a
free copy of the book “Because of Winn Dixie” by Kate DiCamillo,
courtesy of the Friends.
Details of the book sale and more about the Friends can be
found at www.ridgefieldlibrary.org.
Take a look, come to the sale, and thank
a Friend during their special week!
