A New Year

and 

A Book Sale 

Welcome to 2025!
 


Hello Friends,


Thank you for all you did to help the Friends of the Dunwoody Library during 2024. Your work and your book donations contributed to two Children's/YA book sales and two Adult book sales. Our new book grouping allows more aisle space so shoppers can spend more time looking for their favorites or finding a new discovery.


Our self-service Ongoing Sale in the lobby features a different theme each month. We continue our stock of Fiction, Mysteries, and Classics, along with Nonfiction and children's and Young Adult books. Bring a few dollars in cash when you visit the library, just in case you find something you like among the current magazines, favorite DVDs, or heart-warmers. And puzzles are back!


With the proceeds from the sales, we were able to support the Dunwoody Library in the following ways:

  • Contribution for collection enhancement
  • Improvements for Library furniture, building, and grounds
  • Library staff support
  • Programs for children, teens, and adults.


Thank you again for your part in FODL's success!


Bring us your gently used books!


As you know, you can bring your donated books to us at the Dunwoody Library during normal library hours. If you need help unloading, please come on Tuesday, 10:00 a.m. - noon.
