The hours are 10:00 am until 4:30 pm. Our carts will be full in the City Hall hallways and outside in the courtyard (weather permitting). Many genres are available including all age children’s books. Check out our Book Nook Store! All proceeds benefit the Garden City Public Library.
The Friends group is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit corporation. The purpose of the Friends is to earn monies through local and online sales and, as appropriate, sales of other items, while working closely with the library.
Inside the library is a dedicated bookstore, The Book Nook Store. In the hallways of City Hall are several Friends carts full of books, DVDs, and CDs for sale.
For over the last decade and a half the Friends have donated $314,000 to the Garden City Public Library.
“The funds raised by the Friends of the Garden City Library annually fund 50% of our library’s materials budget”, says Lindsey Pettyjohn, Library Director. “We would not be able to meet our patron’s needs without The Friends of the Garden City Library’s ongoing financial support.”
The Friends are celebrating their 60th year of partnering with the Library.
