Friends of the Library Requesting Donations The Friends of the Library are urgently requesting donations of materials from the Cumberland County community. When the basement of Headquarters Library was flooded during Hurricane Matthew, a large portion of the Friends' book sale inventory was destroyed. The Friends of the Library receive most of their funding through quarterly book sales. Proceeds provide the Friends with the ability to supplement library programs and services that would not otherwise be possible. All branches are accepting small donations (one paper grocery bag full of items.) If you have a larger donation, please call 483- 7727 ext. 1304. The Friends of the Library accept books, CDs and DVDs in good or like new condition. Magazines should be no more than 5 years old.
