• We support it through fund-raising and volunteer work.
• We are dedicated to promoting and enhancing the library and its services.
• We volunteer our time and help to develop and present programs.
• We provide extra funding needed for the library.
• We raise thousands of dollars with sales of books, promotional items, and special projects.

Used books donated to Warren Public Library are sorted by volunteers.  The books are sold through The Book Cellar, the Rolling Book Sale and Internet Book Sales projects. As all the work is done by volunteers, all proceeds are donated back to the library to buy books and materials for the library's collection. Our members hold work bees to beautify the library grounds with plantings. Indoors, our volunteers supplement the work of the staff all year.

Rolling Book Sale

This is a year-round project of Warren Library Friends. It is open whenever the library is. As you enter the library's main doors, there is a bookshelf to your immediate right, next to a comfortable chair.  As with all our projects, proceeds help to support the library. The inventory in the Rolling Book Sale is reviewed and refreshed regularly by our volunteers. So if you don't see anything you want today, be sure to check it each time to visit the library!
