MAY 2023:  Do you have any books in good condition (not torn, stained, or mildewed) you will never read again? Please consider donating them to the Friends of Curry Public Library for our upcoming Book Sale, May 26-29, 2023. Bring your book donations to the library on 3rd Street in Gold Beach from MAY 1 through MAY 25, 2023. Purging your shelves and bed-side tables of books you have already read will make space for all the books you will want to purchase at the Book Sale!
JULY 2023: The Friends of Curry Public Library are collecting unique, useful or fun items for their twelfth annual “Month-Long Silent Auction,” which will take place at the library September 1-30, 2023. The “Month-Long Silent Auction” garners a great deal of interest and community participation, and it is our most lucrative fundraiser of the year. Check your cupboards, drawers, and garages for NEW or LIKE-NEW items you may have purchased on impulse and never used, have received as a gift, or used a couple of times but know you will never use again…. tools, appliances, electronics, furniture, sports equipment, etc. Please call Sandy Grummon 541-247-6356 with your donation ideas, to ensure this year’s event will be another huge success. Please, do not drop items off at the library before talking with Sandy! All proceeds from the Silent Auction will go towards funding programs and capital equipment for the library. Please note: the Friends do NOT accept artwork, collectibles, clothes or homemade quilts/knitting/crochet items for this event.
OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2023: Do you have any books published after 2018 you will never read again? Please consider donating NEW and “LIKE-NEW” books to the Friends of Curry Public Library for our upcoming HOLIDAY BETTER BOOKS & BAKE SALE December 1-2, 2023. Cookbooks and kids’ books are especially popular as Christmas gifts, but recent novels and non-fiction are irresistible to the avid readers of Gold Beach who will purchase them as a gift to themselves! The Friends will sell the gift-quality books for $5.00 each, and all proceeds will go towards funding library programs and projects. Bring your book donations to the library on 3rd Street in Gold Beach from NOVEMBER 1 through NOVEMBER 30, 2023.
