Friends Book Sale

The annual Friends of the Library Book Sale is a significant source of funding for library programming, museum passes and many extras for Chelmsford patrons. The community's support through donations and volunteer hours is greatly appreciated. The Friends' 2011 Book Sale brought in almost $30,000! Thank you to everyone who supported the book sale - we hope you found something great.
