Railroad Days 2024 – 2nd Call for volunteers

Events, Volunteering,

Hello Friend!

Brunswick Railroad Days 2024 is only a few weeks away on October 5th and 6th!

Our used book sale at Railroad Days is our major fundraiser of the year. The money we raise is used exclusively to support our Brunswick Branch Library.

We can’t do it without you. Steadman-Keenan American Legion Post 96 is once again generously donating space in their parking lot. While we need people to sell books, we’re especially in need of folks for set up and breakdown. (The books need to be transported 2 blocks from storage.)

Have a student looking for service hours? We are a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and are happy to sign forms to certify service for our younger volunteers.

Did we mention? Volunteers can get 50% off of any of their purchases at our Railroad Days book sale.

Sign-ups are open. Please go to https://signup.com/go/DJMhaUh to sign up for one or more spots. Invite a friend to work with you! Please forward this message to anyone who might be interested.

Here’s how it works in 3 easy steps:

  1. Click this link to see our SignUp on SignUp: https://signup.com/go/DJMhaUh
  2. Review the options listed and choose the spot(s) you like.
  3. Sign up! It’s Easy – you will NOT need to register an account or keep a password on SignUp.

Note: SignUp does not share your email address with anyone. If you prefer not to use your email address, please contact us and we can sign you up manually.

Thank you! Whether you’re able to volunteer or not, we’re looking forward to seeing you at Railroad Days!

Railroad Days 2024 – Call for donations!

Events, Fundraising,

Hello, Friend!

As you know, our annual used book sale at Railroad Days (October 5&6 this year) is our biggest event of the year. However, we can’t be successful without your generous donation.

If you have books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, in sellable condition that you would like to donate to our sale, please bring them to the Brunswick Library and let the staff there know that you’re dropping items off for the Friends of the Library. We can accept donations until October 3.

In circumstances where you have a lot of items to donate, please get in touch with us (contact details are below) and we’ll make arrangements for a pickup.

Please note: VHS tapes, cassettes, magazines, and moldy and/or damaged books are not “sellable”; we can’t take those.

Thank you for your support and generosity. We hope to see you at Railroad Days!

2013 Railroad Days book sale redux

Fundraising, Volunteering

By all indications, our book sale at this year’s Railroad Days was a resounding success. We had a good, steady stream of customers on both days (the weather helped) and may have had our most successful book sale ever.

If you donated books to the sale…

If you purchased books at our sale…

And especially if you volunteered to work at our sale…

Thank you for supporting the Friends of the Brunswick Library and, by extension, the Brunswick Library itself.

See you next year!

(p.s., We now have some long-term storage and can now take book donations all year long.)

We need your books! Call for book donations 2013
