The Friends of the St. Joseph Public Library is selling books culled from the library shelves and donations that may be unique. They may have a connection to local history or events and mostly they are old enough for a close scrutiny.  The sale will be at the Downtown Library lobby, 927 Felix Street from January 5 through January 31.

The books cover a variety of subjects and include novels, poetry books and nonfiction books. We will be selling a few railroad videotapes that were donated. All of the items are waiting for someone to claim them and there are sure to be some bargains.  The books are $5.00 each.

The Friends of the St. Joseph Public Library is a non-profit 501c3 organization with a mission to support the St. Joseph Public Library.  The organization focuses public attention on library services and programs, raises funds and acts as an advocate for libraries and literacy in our community.

The Downtown Library is open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 9:00 am to 8:00 pm; Thursday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm; and Friday & Saturday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.  The lobby is accessible by an elevator which is located inside the ground floor School District Office entrance to the west of the front of the building.  For more information call the Downtown Library at 232-7729.
