50th Anniversary and Summer Learning CelebrationSunday, June 12 - 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. To celebrate our 50 years, Friends held a huge book sale behind the Downtown Library at 1044 Middlefield Road. All books at the sale were 50 cents to honor our 50 years. Honey also was sold and a raffle for great prizes generated ten lucky/happy winners! For this celebration, Youth Services joined us to celebrate the start of the Summer Learning Challenge. Summer Learning is the largest program Friends funds each year. It was exciting to honor both our anniversary and the kickoff to our Library's biggest annual event. Article on Friends 50th in RWCPulse BookstoreThe Downtown Library Bookstore is OPEN in the lobby with volunteers working most days! Also, the Book Kiosk is stocked at the Redwood Shores Library. Lovely items, great quality, low prices! . The Friends of the Redwood City Public Library and its 30 volunteers run a resale bookstore located in the lobby of the Main Library, 1044 Middlefield Road. The store is the major source of funding for all the Redwood City library’s programs so every purchase is most appreciated. Our prices are the best deal for nice quality books. Our store features a section of new fiction at a fraction of the retail price, books shelved by topic and a large wall of fiction helpfully alphabetized by author. Additionally, we always have a themed feature sale such as sales for each holiday and two sales carts with extra special deals. We accept cash and Visa and Mastercard debit/credit cards at the Bookstore. Cash only at the Kiosk. Visit us soon! Book sales are our primary method to raise money for library programs. Special Book Sale EventsThe Friends also participate in special book sale events. We sell books at events downtown during the summer and we occasionally have table sales in front of the Main Library. We announce our special sales with our email blasts. To be added to our email list, please send a request to us at friendsofrwclibrary@gmail.com. Amazon SalesThe Friends operate an Amazon storefront. Our storefront has been a wonderful way in the past two years to increase our revenue to fund the library.
