FoL Book Sort

The Friends operate a used book sale area in the library basement and hold public sales approximately every other month. To prepare for these sales, volunteers process and shelve donated items. Sorts are a great opportunity to socialize, chat about books, and help your library.

If you are interested in helping out, please email friends@gepl.org to schedule an orientation session.

Emerging Authors

An emerging author is a writer who has some professional experience and recognition but has not yet reached an established level. The term is often used to describe early-career writers who may need support. The library’s Emerging Author Collection offers local authors the opportunity to have their books on shelves and in circulation, receive wider exposure, and reach an audience they might not otherwise influence. Learn more about the Emerging Author Collection, including how to submit your work. This winter, the library is also supporting early-career writers with programs, tools, and encouragement!

Details:

Even if you don’t consider yourself a writer, putting pen to paper on a regular basis can fuel self-awareness, creativity, enjoyment, and build community.
