Bookcase Clean Out One of the main sources of funding for Friends of the Allen Public Library is our ongoing book sale.Lately, sales are dropping because we don’t have enough books to sell!What a great way to encourage your kids to read —go through your books, pick some out to bring to the library, and while you’re here, pick up a few to take home!
In this year of budget cuts everywhere, the library needs all the funds we can give them.So help out by bringing YOUR books.
Of course, it’s tax-deductible!
Please bring us your popular paperbacks and children’s books that you are no longer using. Drop them off at the circulation desk and ask for a tax receipt. more detail
