We raise funds for the library to purchase materials and provide services and programs. We support the community by providing low cost reading materials. Throughout the year we collect used books and other used library materials. We sponsor a general sale of these in the Fall and other sales throughout the year featuring paperbacks and children's books. The sale dates are publicized via newspaper ads, library posters and book mark, various printed community calendars including the Columbia Online Calendar .
Volunteers work throughout the year to sort, weed and price donated materials for the sales.
They also work actively to pass necessary legislation for library support. We take every opportunity to remind the community of our existence and our purpose. It is not necessary to work every sale. A larger time commitment is necessary because it is essential to follow certain procedures. A minimum of 2-3 hours a week is required.
