Big Book Sale 2021 is CANCELLED

Posted on February 27, 2021February 26, 2021 by kinman

The Friends’ largest annual fundraiser, the Big Book Sale, cannot happen this year due to the pandemic. Our Fall Festival and Holiday sales were cancelled also as everyone’s health and safety is our top priority!

The Friends help fund the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library’s home delivery service, a vital resource that is keeping the community connected during these challenging times. Currently Library staff are making about 2,000 deliveries a week. The Friends also fund the Library’s popular Take and Go Craft Kits; more than 400 kits are delivered monthly to families’ homes, filled with all the necessary supplies for kids and teens to learn about a new art technique.

Please consider making a donation to help replace this lost revenue of more than $20,000. You can donate via PayPal (https://bit.ly/3tnNoWv) or one of the other ways listed below.
