Book Sale, Volunteering

Thank You!

Without our volunteers (before, during and after), patrons, and customers of the 2017 Spring Book Sale, we would not have been able to raise over $7,400 for the West Lafayette Public Library.

There is still more volunteering to do and money to raise.  If you would like to get involved, please fill out our volunteer form.

Join us for our Annual 2017 Vintage Vinyl Sale on April 22nd.
