One more thing to be thankful for: the Mercer Island Friends of the Library Holiday Book Sale!!!

Make your holiday shopping as easy as pie by stopping in the Mercer Island Library from Thursday, December 1st through Sunday, December 4th during regular library hours. The Friends will have lovely books suitable for gifting or just for you to enjoy.  There will be books for all ages as well as CDs and DVDs. We also have a special offering of Easton Press books but there are only about a dozen so they will go fast as well as a number of Great Courses lectures. Be sure to come back often as we will be adding new items daily.

In addition to the book sale, the Friends of the Mercer Island Library will also be featuring the Dickens Carolers and light refreshments on Saturday, December 3rd from 3:30 pm to 4 pm. We hope you will stop in and share some holiday cheer.

Your financial and book donations are welcome year round. Proceeds from the sale of the donated books fund, in whole or in part, over 75% of the programs at the Mercer Island Library.
