Thanks to all who purchased used books at the annual sale this June. The Friends of the Library raised $17,900 this year.
From the donations the library added 342 items to our collection which would total $5,248 if we had to buy them for the library. But they were free because they were donations we took from the booksale

The Friends meet monthly to plan programs, prepare for the annual book sale and investigate sources of funding. Meetings are held in the Chappaqua Library, and the public is invited to attend. Our primary sources of income are the annual June used book sale, fund-raising events, special donations, membership dues, and a fall membership drive.
