It's the moment you've been waiting for! Wood Library is ready to start accepting book sale donations starting Friday, August 6. Because we anticipate a high number of donations and to help alleviate stress on staff, library volunteers will be accepting donations at the Hamlin Room door (right off the parking lot) on Friday, August 6 from 11:00am-5:00pm and Saturday, August 7 from 11:00am-5:00pm. Donations will continue to be accepted at the library until storage space is full.
