FRIENDS is moving to a larger space in the Citadel Mall! We will stop accepting donations on May 8th as we relocate into our new space - we will let you know when we can resume accepting book donations. We apologize for any inconvenience, appreciate your patience, and look forward to seeing you are our new space!
Thank you for supporting local literacy!
