Clearing out your shelves?

If you have good-quality books you no longer need, please keep the Community Bookshelf in mind. Donated books can find a new reader while helping raise funds for local projects and improvements.

It is a modest fundraising activity, but it is a good example of how everyday community participation can contribute to the League's work.
