Book Store Policy
Most of the books and other materials in the Friends of the Library Bookstore are one-of-a-kind. We do not reserve books or other materials listed in the newsletter for customers. Books and other materials are available at sales on a first come, first serve basis. The volunteers of the Friends of the Library predetermine the price of the books and other materials. All items are sold “as is”; inspect carefully before purchasing. Our primary mission is to raise money to support the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library. We appreciate your assistance in this endeavor.
