Book Sale Fundraisers
Book Nook Book Sales
In recent years, the Friends' fundraising activities have raised over $14,000 for the library. The Friends' major fundraiser is the library's ongoing used book sale. Proceeds from Friends' fundraising events have been used to purchase furniture and computer equipment, as well as to support our summer reading program for children. The Friends also sponsor a scholarship for graduating seniors at Novi High School.
