THE BOOK NOOK
Book Nook sales directly support the library
Book Nook Table Sale!
The Friends of the Henrietta Hankin Branch Library are holding a Book Nook Table Sale from Monday, January 20 through Monday, Feb 3.
The Table Sale will be at the front of the library, near the Book Nook entrance.
2025 DATES for our Donation Days! The first Donation Days for 2025 are Friday, February 21 and Saturday, February 22.
On February 21, please drop off donations on the yellow carts under the “Donations” sign by the fish tank from 10am to 2pm.
On February 22, stop into the Community Room from 10am until 1pm to drop off donations.
Because items in poor condition fill up the library’s recycle bins and waste valuable volunteer time, please follow these guidelines:
- Do not include books that are moldy, smelly, mildewed, stained, heavily highlighted, wet, or falling apart.
- No more than 4 boxes or bags per person.
- No travel guides, computer books, or textbooks.
- We accept CDs and DVDs.
- Remember: Donations need to be in good condition to sell, and the Book Nook is a fundraiser to raise money for the library. Look at your items and ask: “Would I buy this item?” If the answer is NO, please recycle at home.
Thank you for your support! The Book Nook is run by the Friends of the Henrietta Hankin Branch Library and all proceeds fund library programming and services.
The Book Nook was started in 2003 by library supporters Gretchen Schwobel and Maureen Torrens. It is the primary fundraiser of the Friends of the Henrietta Hankin Branch Library and is run by Friends volunteers. The Book Nook is located across from the Customer Service Desk in the lobby of the Henrietta Hankin Branch Library and is open during library business hours.
The Book Nook sells used books, audiobooks, CDs, DVDs, magazines, and jigsaw puzzles, donated by the library and local community. Proceeds from the Book Nook support library programming and services such as summer and winter reading programs, STEM programming, craft kits, staff education, and the beloved fish tank.
Book Nook volunteers organize donation events, sort and weed donations, refresh and stock the Book Nook on a weekly basis, organize periodic Table Sales, and manage all other aspects of the resale shop. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us.
The Friends of Henrietta Hankin Branch Library schedule periodic Donation Days at the library. These are the only times we accept donations.
Condition of Books: We cannot sell books that are moldy, smelly, mildewed, stained, heavily highlighted or underlined, wet, or falling apart.
Donation Size: No more than four boxes or bags per person.
No Thanks: We do not accept travel guides, computer books, or textbooks.
REMEMBER: Donations need to be in good condition to sell. Always ask yourself:
“Would I buy this item?” If the answer is “no,” please recycle at home. Don’t make our volunteers waste their time sorting through your damaged books.
