A Letter from Aiyana Currie, President of the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library (6/13/2022) -
The Friends of the Concord Free Public Library Annual Booksale came together in stunning fashion on Saturday, June 12, 2022, thanks to the months of volunteer hours that began a year ago. The Friends pride themselves on hosting a large, festive and smile-drawing book sale for Concord and surrounding towns. At its heart, the booksale is a community event. As the largest single day volunteer event in Concord, its benefits are numerous. Every year provides a chance for a new discovery for a young reader, a passerby, or a frequent visitor.
This year over $32,000 in proceeds will fund library programs, thanks to the generosity of our book buyers, sifting through thoughtfully curated books and media. We would especially like to thank the Book Sale Committee, the year-round team of book donation sorters, members of our community who donated all of the wonderful books, the Library staff, the many volunteers during the day’s event, including the National Charity League. We would also like to thank our community partners, who offered in-kind donations to help make the sale a success, including: Crosby's Market, Rocky's Ace Hardware, CVS, Alpha Graphics, Concord Academy, Brine’s Sporting Goods, Concord Book Shop, Vanderhoof Hardware, Walgreens, North River Builders and Concord Children's Center.
