Book Sale
The Fall Book Sale will be in September 2009 in conjunction with the Sherman Artsfest downtown. Friends members can attend a special book sale preview from 5-7pm that Friday, September 18, before it is open to the public. Not a member? Call or visit the Sherman Public Library to find out how you can become one! Membership costs are also listed on the bottom of this page. Everyone will be able to shop Saturday, September 19, from 8am-4pm.
We always need Friends members to volunteer to help set up for the sale, sell books, and clean up afterwards. If you want to help, please contact the Sherman Public Library!
Donations for the Book Sale can be made at the Sherman Public Library.
Thanks for the support!
