The Friends of the West Windsor Branch of the Mercer County Library thank the community for its generous support of our recent Spring Book Sale by donating and purchasing thousands of books. The book sale is the culmination of months of work by dedicated volunteers and depends on the generous donations of library supporters throughout the year.

The book sales are the Friends of the Library’s main fundraisers. All items sold were donated by the community. Many of the donations are put into circulation at the library, while others are sorted and held for sale.

Proceeds from the sale are used to sponsor special community events held at the library; fund the library’s children’s and adult programs; expand the library’s collection; as well as provide other projects and purchases not supported by the Mercer County Library System budget so that our branch library can better meet the needs of our community.

The West Windsor Library accepts donations of new and gently used books and audio visual materials during library hours. Please bring your donations to the circulation desk. Tax receipts are available. Information about the Friends of the Library organization and our donations policy is available on our website.

We hope to see you at our next sale in October. Please visit our ongoing sale of special books inside the library.

— Kathy Brennan, Pete Phipps, Dana Krug and Larry Goodman

Brennan and Phipps are Book Sale co-chairs, Krug is president of Friends of the West Windsor Library and Goodman is treasurer.
