Established in 1990, The Friends of the Library is a non-profit organization that works to support and strengthen our public library. Its purpose, in cooperation with the Library Board of Trustees and staff, is:
Visit the Friends of the Library Book Warehouse at 13081 Coffing Road, Mount Vernon, Ohio. The warehouse is open to the public June 6, 2020 through mid-November, Thursday-Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (except holidays). Cash or check only. Sorry, no debit or credit cards can be accepted. Volunteers are needed to help staff the warehouse and need not be a member of the Friends of the Library.
Shelves have been reloaded with thousands of new and used books, movies, music and more for all ages. As usual, all children under age 18 receive a free book coupon during each visit.
The popular $5 donation per bag "Stuff It!" sale will continue for the summer. New, clean bags will be provided. Specially marked treasures will also be on display.
Proper sanitizing and social distancing guidelines will be followed.
FOL donations help support public library programs in Mount Vernon, Fredericktown, Danville and Gambier.
Book donations are welcome and are to be delivered to the book warehouse. Due to liability the library staff are unable to pick up donated books from homes and businesses. The Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County are not taking donations currently, all donations are to be taken to the book warehouse.
