Friends 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.
