The Friends have held a book sale to benefit the Arlington Public Library since 1976, when it was an annual event. According to the August 1977 "Newsletter to the Friends of the Arlington County Library" (available in the Virginia Room), the May 1977 sale raised $1600 over two days. Proceeds from the Friends that year went to fund purchase of the Columbia Historical Society Records, juvenile programming supplies, Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books, magazine subscriptions for Central and the branches, and more. Today, money earned through the Friends continues to support Library programming and collections, including our One Book - One Community program, Arlington Reads.
Volunteers are still needed for the April sale - call 703-228-7684 or email arlington.booksale@yahoo.com to find out how you can help!
