Friends of Harrison Memorial Library

Friends of Harrison Memorial Library is a non-profit volunteer organization established in 1972 to provide support for library activities and help purchase needed books and equipment.

The major fundraiser of this group is the wonderful book sale, held for three days during the month of August in Carmel.


Jon Raggett and Schools3

At the Friend of the Library's General Meeting on March 30th, Jon Raggett, of Carmel, shared his moving experiences building schools in Mali and Honduras. Further information on his good work can be found at his non-profit organization's website: http://www.schools3.org


 

THIS YEAR'S SALE:

 

August 14, 15, & 16, 2008


Members of the Friends collect, sort, and price donated books all year and then hold a sale in August.   Close to 10,000 books, paperbacks, and audio and video tapes are available.  The sale is a lively, friendly event in a lovely setting. The proceeds are donated to the library.

You can donate books to our Book Sale by dropping them off at Sunset Center (San Carlos and 10th) on Tuesday mornings between 10:00 and 12:00.  We will also pick your books up.  To schedule a pick-up, call Harriet Harrell at 624-8396.  No condensed books, text books, records, or magazines, please. 

In addition to the fundraiser, the Friends promote awareness of the library in our community by  hosting  author programs for the public and sponsoring a bookmark contest for area youth.

Members of the Friends of the Library receive announcements of author programs and an invitation to the "Friend's Preview" for the annual book sale.

Annual dues are $10. To become a member of the Friends of Harrison Memorial Library  contact: Vi Fox, Membership Chairman, at 626-1588 or mail your name, address and dues to:
