Hello fellow book lovers,
I am a volunteer in a small library and we recently got a donation of 7000$ total from a few sources. In previous years, the budget was never more than 250$.
Although some of those funds will go toward furniture and equipment purchase, a decent amount will go toward buying new BOOKS for all age groups, although less so for young children as it is the category we invested the most in previously. Our greatest need are books for age 8-16 but we of course would need some incredible finds for our adult population. Books will have to be bought new or second hand from editions less than 10 years old.
If you have any suggestions, please leave them here! I will be browsing this group further. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
