Book donation day at MDL

by Sara Swanson

The Manchester District Library’s Friends of the Library is holding a book donation day on Saturday, August 12, from 10am to noon in the Village Room. The Village Room is located on the lower level and can be accessed from the rear parking lot of the library. 

The Friends ask that when donating your books, please keep in mind that any donated item must be in a condition you would gladly give to a friend or purchase yourself. Please do not donate VHS tapes, cassette tapes, magazines, encyclopedias, textbooks, toys, crafts, frames, or damaged books. We consider damaged books to be anything that has torn covers, torn or loose pages, stains, mold, mildew, watermarks, must, or excessive handwritten notes and highlighting. They also ask that you please make sure to hand off your items to a volunteer and not leave them outside. 

The books will be used in the Friends’ on-going book sale and to stock Little Free Libraries in the community and in other community book-giving events like Halloween.  

Friends of the Manchester District Library’s Used Book Sale is available when the Library is open. Manchester District Library hours are Monday–Thursday, 10am–8pm; Friday, 10am–6pm; and Saturday, 10am–2pm. The most up-to-date hours and the latest news are always available on the MDL website. Questions? Call the library at (734) 428-8045 or stop in and ask at the front desk.  

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
