Did you know that Friends groups at each Fairfax County Public Library branch sponsor used book sales to raise money for the library? Proceeds from book sales support fun and educational programs for children and adults at branches as well as system-wide events such as the popular Summer Reading Program. Some groups have supported the purchase of ebooks, magazine subscriptions and much more. You can help support the library by browsing the used book sale at your local branch or donating your excess books and DVDs. Friends groups have different criteria for book donations.
Sherwood Regional Library welcomes your donations of:
• Current and high-interest non-fiction
• Hardcover fiction in excellent condition
