Got Books?

Weaver Library welcomes them! The Friends of the East Providence Public Library are collecting books for their Spring Book Sale, scheduled for April 26 to 29, at Weaver Library. Proceeds from the sale will benefit library programs, including museum passes and special concerts and events.

Hardcover and softcover books in gently used condition are wanted. Books should have bindings intact and be free of writing, highlighting, tears, water stains, mold or mildew. Especially in demand are pocket-size paperback romance novels and children’s books. We also welcome non-fiction books on sports, art, hobbies, crafts, history, home and garden, business, health, travel, music, religion and science. Oversize and vintage are needed for our Special Selections and Collectors’ Corner section. Music CDs, movie DVDs, comic books and jigsaw puzzles are also welcome. We no longer accept cassette tapes or VHS tapes.

Items to donate should be delivered in a bag, box or container during library hours to the circulation desk at Weaver Library, 41 Grove Avenue, East Providence or Riverside Library, 475 Bullocks Point Avenue, Riverside. Donated books should not be placed in the book drop. Questions? Call the library at 401-434-2453.
