The Friends of the Topsham Public Library once again extend a sincere thank you to the amazing citizens of Topsham and the entire community. We had a very successful book sale. Your support is never ending and much appreciated. We raised over $9500, which will be used to support programs and activities at the Library that are not part of the town budget.
The following is a list of individuals and local businesses that deserve special thanks for their contributions. Volunteers help by sorting books into categories, moving boxes of sorted books to and from their storage spaces, getting tables set up, putting books up on the tables, keeping books neat during the sale, cashiering, clean up after the sale, and in dozens of other ways. Our list wouldn’t be complete without thanking the people who donated their beloved books and those who bought them. See you next year.
