The Friends of the J.V. Fletcher Library are collecting book donations for their upcoming book sales in June, July and October. Please consider donating your unwanted books to our library. Approximately 95% of the books offered at our book sales are donated by Westford residents. Unlike other organizations collecting books, all of your donations directly benefit our library. We accept hardcover and paperback books as well as CDs, DVDs and videos. Donations can be dropped off at 50 Main Street, Westford. There is a collection box located near the back door of the library. This box is always available to collect your donations, and tax deduction
forms are available at the Main Desk.
The Friends of the Library really appreciate your continued support. Proceeds from the book sales fund programs and performers, provide new equipment and furnishings and supplement the multimedia collections.
