The Bainbridge Island Friends of the Library is a 501(c)3 charitable organization staffed by volunteers from the community.
 
Our mission is to support the Bainbridge Public Library by working in partnership with the Board of the Bainbridge Public Library and the Library Director.   
 
The kind of support we provide are library events, services, and programs that are compatible with the Bainbridge Public Library policies and objectives.  In addition the Friends promote knowledge of the functions, resources, services, and needs of the library.
 
Book Sales

Gift Certificates in the amounts of $10.00, $25.00 and $50.00 are now available for sale at the Cashier's Desk during all three of our monthly book sales.
A book is always a special gift and $10.00 buys a lot of books at the BIFOL sales.  Imagine how many your grandchild, husband or wife, son or daughter, or your best friend could take home for $25.00 or $50.00!
 
BOOK SALE DATES
In 2009 the Bainbridge FOL will continue with our Second Saturday, Fourth Tuesday, and a once monthly Thursday sale.  (click on tab at left - Book Sale Dates for all date & time info)

The major source of income for the Friends of the Library comes from sales of donated books.  Actually, while the principal feature of the sale are books, we also sell magazines, donated music CD's, VHS tapes, DVD's, audio books, etc.  We are fortunate to have a wonderful community that supports the library in many ways, one of which is through donations of used books, magazines, and audio-visual materials to the Friends.  Click on this link to "Book Sale Dates" or at the left to see the dates for our book sales 
 
Donations of quality used books, magazines, CD's, DVD's, etc. are gratefully accepted.  Please drop off your books during library open hours.  For more information about donations, click here.
