A “Little” Library Renovation

With the Central Branch of the Glendale Library closed for renovations, we thought we’d spiff things up a little bit too. (Fortunately, we only needed to close for a minute to do our upgrade.) Thanks, in great part to local donors, today we’ve replaced ALL of the books in the library with over 42 great new titles!

This batch includes:

  • 11 brand new, never before read books
  • 2 books written by a famous local author
  • Fiction
  • Thrillers & mystery
  • A great spread of non-fiction (from medicine and sleep to history and archaeology)
  • Our 4th copy of Wild by Cheryl Strayed (the most popular donation in the last year, but they always disappear as quickly too…)
  • Our 3rd copy of the popular Like Water for Elephants
  • An awesome selection of pulp fiction
  • A tie yesterday(?) for #8 on our list of records for Largest Single One-Time Donations

Be sure to stop by today and resupply your night table.

Donations?

Do you have some books you’re done reading and want to share with your neighbors? We gladly accept your donated books – it’s part of what keeps the library a vital part of the community. Simply place your book donation directly into the library. Not enough space or need more information on donating? Maybe your question is answered here. Otherwise ask below in the comments, and we’ll do our best to help.

Social Media

We try to make it easy to read our posts and get the latest information about the library and what’s going on recently. You can always find the blog or follow us on most of the major social media platforms to get the latest updates. Don’t forget to take a #selfie with the library when you stop by and tag it #LFL8424 on your favorite platform.

Take a book, leave a book.

A New Donation of 12 Terrifically Diverse Books

An anonymous donor has dropped off 12 of the most interesting and diverse books this morning! Non-fiction fans will be particularly pleased.

Since there’s not much space in the library due to our new batch last week, we’ll start putting them out early next week as space becomes available. Thank You kind patron!
