Calling All Grosse Pointe/Harper Woods Book Clubs
WOW! We had a great response to our book club call! Click the Book Clubs tab to learn how your book club can participate, as well as a lot of information on Books and Authors articles, databases and discussion topics.
Sidewalk Sales
Look for the Friends at the Villagefest, Sept. 13-14, 2014 We will be selling a great variety of books – adult and children. Most books will be $1 or less! Hopefully we will again be located next to the overhead clock. Come by and say HI!
Friends Down Under Bookstore
The store has been receiving massive amounts of books, videos, and music CDs! THANK YOU to all who have donated! We wish we could take every book offered, but due to storage limitations and safety issues, we must limit the books we can accept.

Please visit our bookstore in the basement of the Woods Branch. You can purchase beautiful hardbacks for $1, recent bestsellers for $3, and children’s paperback books for $.50.

Books, Bags and Bagels
Our first Books, Bags and Bagels event was a HUGE success. Thank you to all who donated the over 800 purses we had to sell! We now have $2,500 more for our Friends' programs. The purses that weren’t sold were donated to Full Circle, the resale store that trains young adults with special needs.
