SPRING BOOK SALE

Best Sale Ever: $187,641 was raised!

Thanks to all the community members who contributed and purchased Books!

Thanks to the volunteers who tirelessly contributed their energy to prepare for and staff the Book Sale!

Great Books, at Great Prices, for a Great Cause

The Friends now manage the Books Behind Bars program. Volunteers find and ship books to Virginia inmates at no cost to the inmates. Expenses are paid through private benefactors and Red Light Management. Financial and book donations to this effort can be sent to the Friends. Donate online today! Be sure to put Books Behind Bars in the Designation box, so we know what your donation is intended to support.
