The Friends also donate many books to various worthy causes. We also maintain 2 bookcases in the Lobby of the Library where we will sell very current, premier editions, or very interesting, unique or trending books at a slightly higher price, but nothing even close to retail ! These sales are ongoing & the inventory is updated every 2-3 weeks, so be sure to visit often. (Click here to see the Cranford Public Library calendar, which includes book sale dates and programs sponsored by the Friends.) Inventory includes more than 10,000 adult and children’s books, CDs, DVDs, and recorded books, most priced between $.25 and $2.00. CD’s & Books are divided into categories, & most Adult books are alphabetized by the Author. The sales are held in the Friendly Book Cellar (otherwise known as the Library basement), usually in January, April, June, August, and October. The Friends have supplemented the Library’s budget for special projects, including furniture & bookcases, & The Great Courses DVD Series, as well, by using membership dues, gifts and book sale proceeds.Īnother great way to support the Friends and, thus, the Cranford Public Library, is to patronize the Friends' Quality Used Book Sales.
