Library Book Sales: A Community Tradition
For years, the Friends Book Sales have been a staple of the Schenectady community, earning a reputation as one of the best in the region. Thanks to the generosity of community members who donate gently used adult fiction and nonfiction, children’s and young adult books, as well as DVDs, CDs, audiobooks, and vinyl records, there is truly something for everyone — which keeps patrons returning and new visitors discovering us each season. This translates into thousands of dollars to support Library programming after every sale.
The success of these sales relies heavily on our volunteers, led by Lisa Esperti and Robin Eddy. Each sale engages nearly 100 individuals. We are fortunate to have strong community support from MVP, Union College, and local high schools. Dedication, devotion and commitment. These words describe our book sale team exactly. All the many hours and hard work pay off every time we have a sale.
