Book Sales
Our most popular and visible activity is our book sales. We typically hold two-day sales in the library two times each year, plus smaller special sales. Our “Every-day Book Sale” stand, located inside the library entrance, means patrons can purchase books whenever they visit the library. We share a booth with the library at the Veneta Harvest Festival in September and sell books there. In other community contributions, we continue to stock the book exchange box at the Applegate Elementary School in Crow and restock the shelves at the Fern Ridge Service Center with large-print books for seniors. We also donated a large number of Spanish language books to the local school district.
In 2021 and 2022, the Friends of the Fern Ridge Library raised more than $7,300 through book sales. We used these funds to benefit the library in these ways:
In 2021 and 2022, the Friends of the Fern Ridge Library raised more than $7,300 through book sales. We used these funds to benefit the library in these ways:
- Supported the popular summer reading programs.
- Purchased extra copies of books in the popular OBOB (Oregon Battle of the Books) program.
- Purchased a bench for the library’s new courtyard.
- Contributed to the library foundation’s project to purchase new DVD shelving and to the project to purchase mobile devices for student use. We have been one of the foundation’s Community Partners since 2018. Working together, we can help our library!
