Friends of Library book sales back online
The Friends of the Los Altos Library launched a website in October and then had to temporarily shut it down for lack of access to the library. The site – folbookshelf.org – is now back online.
For residents who miss the Friends of the Library’s quarterly book sales, which have been sidelined by the pandemic, the website offers the opportunity to replenish their bookshelves.
Patrons can view pictures of the books for sale online, pay for them by credit card and then pick up them up, just as they do for library holds.
