The sale will be held at the Brunswick library from 11am to 4pm. We hope to see you there!

Not Quite Burns Night is coming up on January 23, and part of the celebration of Rabbie Burns is reading some of his poetry.
We’d love to have you read a few verses, with or without a Scots accent. Bring your own, or choose from one of the several we’ll have available.
Let us know at folbrunswick@gmail.com or sign up when you arrive that night.
Well, as predicted, this all came up faster than we realized.
Railroad Days starts tomorrow and, with it, The Friends of the Brunswick Library’s used book sale.
We’ll be at the American Legion parking lot starting at 10:00 both days. We have a pretty large stock of books, so come on down to see us. Not just books, either. We’ve got audio books, DVDs, CDs, books on tape, and even VHS video cassettes.
It’s not too late to volunteer to help out either. We can always use a few more hands.
Oh, and considering the weather for the last few Railroad Days, we’d appreciate any rain dances, good luck charms, or other interventions you have available to make sure we have good weather.
Our annual Used Book Sale at Railroad Days is coming up! We’re going to have thousands of books, along with a good collection of DVDs, video cassettes, CDs, and books on tape. Some very interesting specialty items. We’ll have tons of kids books!
Assuming the weather cooperates, we will be there both days for Railroad Days, October 6 & 7, 2018. Festivities kick off at 10:00 AM.
See you there!

The Friends of the Brunswick Library is having a meeting for all members on Saturday, May 12, 9-10 AM in the Library Community Room. All Friends members in good standing are welcome to attend.
At this meeting we will be (re-)electing members to the Board, will go over the Friends’ accomplishments since the last annual meeting, but mostly it is for all of us to get to know each other.
Please let us know if you will be attending so that we have enough refreshments for everyone.
p.s., If you have not paid your membership dues for 2018, you can pay them at the meeting.
We hope to see you there!

More details on our Not Quite Burns Night page.

Our community’s generous contributions continue to help us help the Brunswick Branch Library’s missions.
As you may or may not know, the annual used book sale at Brunswick Railroad Days is our biggest event of the year, not to mention our primary fundraiser. Believe it or not, October 7 is only a little more than a month away. We need your help to make it successful.

Not sure if volunteering is for you? Bring a friend! “Many hands make light work” as the saying goes.
Got teenagers? Got teenagers who need volunteer hours? This is a perfect opportunity, and we always need young, strong backs during setup and breakdown.
Have a truck that we can use to transport the books the two blocks from our storage to our location for the sale? Please let us know!
