NEW SCANNER POLICY: The Friends of the Library have decided to no longer allow the use of scanners at the Friends Preview Sale on Friday night to ensure a more welcoming, enjoyable and family-friendly experience for everyone who comes to the sale. However, scanners will be welcome on Saturday and Sunday.
The sale continues on Saturday, February 11 from 10 a.m. 5 p.m., and Sunday, February 12 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. On Sunday, all materials are half price.
The sale will include thousands of gently used hardcover and paperback books, plus CDs, audiobooks, DVDs and videos. Prices are 50 cents and up for paperbacks and $1 and up for hardcover books.
100% of the proceeds from all our book sales directly benefit our library--unlike for-profit organizations which collect books and do not donate all of their proceeds to charitable organizations. Our book sales fund a wide variety of library programs and performers, provide new equipment and furnishings, and supplement the multimedia collections.
Approximately 95% of the books offered at our sales are donated by Westford residents and other library patrons. Please donate your surplus books to the Friends for the direct benefit of the library and Westford.
Books and other materials can be dropped off at the left-hand door just inside the library's rear entrance. If the library is closed, just drop your donations into the trunk that is always available outside the rear entrance. Tax deduction forms are available at the Main Desk. The Friends of the J.V. Fletcher Library deeply appreciate your continued support.
The Friends of the J.V. Fletcher Library help the library serve the community. The Friends support the library through advocacy, volunteer service and fundraising in order to enhance resources, facilities and service.
