BOOKS R US
The Friends of the East Providence Public Library want to be your best source of books to read and to offer a convenient location for you to donate books you have read.
Donated books are sold at the Fall and Spring Book Sales and provide funds for library programs, equipment and events.
In preparation for the annual Fall Book Sale Oct. 13 to 16, Friends are accepting gently used and resalable books.
The greatest need is for novels, as those shelves are currently lean in the book sorting room.
Novels that are free of tears, highlighting, writing, water stains, mold or mildew, with bindings intact, are most welcome.
So, if your stack of completed books includes those by Margaret Atwood, David Baldacci, Lee Child, Michael Connelly, Dean Koontz, Toni Morrison, James Patterson, Anne Rice, Nicholas Sparks, Danielle Steel, or other popular authors, bring them in.
Drop off your books in bags, boxes or totes at Weaver Library, 41 Grove Avenue, East Providence or Riverside Library, 475Bullocks Point Ave, Riverside during library hours.
For donations of more than 10 bags of boxes, call 401-433-3463 in advance to make arrangements.
