Geez, Louise!!! You should see our book sale!!!

       I'm not kidding!!!  The auditorium is loaded from wall to wall with books to sell!
      The Friends of the Library will hold their Spring Book Sale this Friday and Saturday, April 20 and 21, here at the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library, 204 Fifth Street, S.E.
      It's a "members only" on Friday from 6 to 8 p.m.  And memberships are available at the door or during business hours in the Library.
      Then on Saturday, doors are open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 
      A special will be the $1.00 bag sale Saturday from 2 to 3 p.m.  But if you wait that long, you've missed all the good books. 
      The books cover all genres imaginable, from cookbooks to biographies, fiction and nonfiction, on and on.... 
      The cost is so small that you'll be able to afford tons and tons.  Pre-owned books, audio books and movies are 25 cents to $2.00.  By pre-owned, we mean gently-used, clean and neat.
      The sale's proceeds will benefit the Library.
      Come see the stacks and stacks of books early on Saturday (unless, of course, you're a member of the MCCLS Friends).  We've got lots of good stuff just waiting to go home with  you.

We Have Friends!

A new group has been organized here at the library...the Friends of the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library System.
So, who are they?

  • They are a fast growing organization consisting entirely of volunteer advocates who believe passionately in the need for a strong library system to benefit the community.
What do they do?

  • They focus attention on library services and needs;
  • volunteer assistance with programs, special events, or in-library services;
  • promote the use of library resources and programs throughout the community;
  • and raise funds for special projects, equipment, and materials in excess of the general library budget.
Should you decide to join the Friends, you'll receive a card good for the calendar year verifying your membership. With your card you'll be entitled to benefits such as:

  • discounts on library specialty items, i.e., book bags, T-shirts, bookmarks, etc.;
  • early admission to special events;
  • invitations to library receptions;
  • forgiveness of two overdue book fines per membership year;
  • receive advance notice of special additions to library materials, i.e., Get Outdoors Georgia (family pass for free admission to any historic site operated by GA State Parks, Recreation & Historic Sites);
  • and more!

There are different categories of memberships to fit your lifestyle, i.e., child/student, adult, senior/military, family, etc.

You're invited to join our corps of dedicated volunteers! For more information, pick up one of the Friends brochures at the library, email us at friends@mccls.org, or call us at 985-6540.
