“The huge A/B Room in the Library will be filled with wonderful books, CDs, DVDs, and the ever-popular audiobooks at the Fall Book Sale,” said Marsha Luetjen, president of the Friends of the Brighton District Library. “These sales are ‘feel good’ events. Volunteers feel good seeing all the items from Wednesday book donation intake filling the A/B Room. Shoppers feel good finding many perfect items providing entertainment, education, music, bedtime stories, and more. The Friends of the Brighton District Library organization feels good providing funds for library programs, and the library feels good accepting and using the funds to benefit the community. Come to the sale and you’ll feel good too.”
The Friends of the Brighton District Library is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to actively work to build the Brighton District Library’s funding further. Funds from memberships, book sales, and special events go toward what makes the Library extra special: programming, equipment, and services for all Brighton community members. Some past and current achievements include:
● Support of the Summer Reading Program
