Friends of the Library holding Books in Bags event Saturday, May 30

By Dana Dunn

The Friends of the Wilmington Public Library (FOL) will hold another popular Books in Bags Event at the library from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 30. Mark your calendars for the event in the basement of the library, 268 N. South St., Wilmington.

Those attending need to provide their own bags. Voluntary donations are appreciated which go to support reading outreach activities of the FOL.

The Friends of the Wilmington Public Library is a volunteer group that collects, stocks and rotates books that are available at the library for a monetary donation (but not for resale). The adult book room is located to the immediate left upon entering the main entrance of the library. Children and young adult books are available on a bookshelf across the room from the circulation desk. Most books, except for classics, are no more than 10 years old.

The FOL also donates books to organizations and events that promote reading.

The group welcomes new members who can assist with special events and attend meetings at 2:30 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of every month in the Kirk Room. The group also has a Facebook page and Hayslip can be contacted at (937) 556-8204 if interested in becoming involved.
