For over fifty years, the Friends of O'Neal Library have supported the library through their annual book sale. In 2020 the Friends raised $35,000 during the book sale, which is used to support the library's Teen and Adult programs (click here to see Teen programs and click here to see Adult programs). These enrichment programs make our library a more exciting and fun place to visit. Throughout the year, the Friends volunteers manage book donations and plan and publicize the annual book sale.
Friends do not have to be library donors, but we always appreciate and encourage financial support.
Do you have books to donate? We know you've been cleaning out and the Friends of the library still need your donations! We will start by accepting donations one Saturday each month (typically on the first Saturday). Drop off is at the library on Oak Street across from the Fire Department - look for donation drop off signs. The dates and times are as follows:
Please note: like everyone, we are having to change the way that we do things, and our resources are limited. Please pay particular attention to our donation guidelines:
Our biggest need is for regular volunteers to help manage book donations throughout the year in anticipation of the annual Book Sale. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please fill out the form below and our volunteer coordinator will be in touch with you shortly.

Due to Covid 19, we will not be able to hold our annual book sale in February, 2021. We hope to reschedule at a later date. Stay tuned for information about the books sale and other ways that you can support the library.
