SUMMARY:Spring Book Sale: Friends of the Acton Libraries
DESCRIPTION:Time to stock up on your summer reading! \nPlease join us at the spring book sale at Acton Memorial Library! \nThe Friends of the Acton Libraries is a 100% volunteer organization that has a unique purpose; we donate funds to Acton’s 8 elementary middle-school and high-school libraries\, as well as the 2 town libraries. Our book sales and other activities raise money which we then distribute to these 10 entities. The funds we give to the elementary school libraries represent almost 50% of their book buying budget. \nMost books are $2.00 each (except kids softcover\, which are $1.00).  Everything is half-price on Sunday! \nFor more information\, contact The Friends at friendsofactonlibraries@gmail.com. \nJoin us on social media at https://www.facebook.com/friendsactonlib. Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/friendsactonlib or Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/friendsactonlib.
