Volunteer at the Sale
The Friends needs volunteers to help out with the spring sale. Due to the timing falling within Easter week, many shifts—especially on Friday and Saturday—are still available. Each semi-annual sale typically raises around $10,000, all of which directly supports the Beaches Branch Library and its programming for both children and adults.
Even volunteering for a single two-hour shift makes a meaningful difference. If interested, please message aarne@kaarene.com to coordinate dates and times.
Other Ways to Show Support
Can't make the sale? You can still support the Friends and the Library by donating your gently-loved books, DVDs, CDs, and jigsaw puzzles. Donations totaling less than 3 boxes can be dropped off at any branch. If you have more than three boxes, please take them directly to the Friends of the Jacksonville Public Library bookstore located at 3435 University Blvd N.
