The Friends of the San Juan Island Library (a.k.a. the Friends) exist as a patron advocacy group whose activities include fundraising events, bi-monthly newsletters, an annual membership meeting, and financial support for a variety of library programs and purchases. The annual individual membership fee includes admittance to the July Annual Used Book Sale. The Friends raise over $15,000 a year to help support library activities.

Open 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM — Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays

Treasure Cove, located just inside the entrance to the Library, is the fundraising store of the Friends of the San Juan Island Library. We sell new and like-new books, videos and DVDs, a few audio books, and children’s book; all available at a low and nominal cost.

We are always in need of volunteers- Here are a few of our needs.

• Treasure Cove Store - Interested in retailing? Help sell gently used books, dvds, and other items including artwork, jewelry, and tshirts. All proceeds go to support library programs.

Book Sorters - As the books and other items are donated to the Friends, each item needs to be inspected, sorted by category and taken to storage to be available for the book sales.

Book Sales - There are a number of opportunities to help make these events a success.

· People to transport boxes of items from storage to the sale site
· Table setup people to neatly arrange books on the proper tables

Our major Friends of the Library event is the summer book sale, held the third weekend of July (July 20th & 21st, 2012). Currently, it is conducted at the Friday Harbor High School.  The Friends of the Library is currently seeking volunteers to help with the sale this year.  Please sign up to volunteer at the Library.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

The sale starts on Friday evening with a special opening for members of the friends only. Saturday, the sale starts at 10 am and ends at 2 pm.  Books in general are sold by the inch measured at the spine. Videos, coffee table books, old volumes, and audio books are often specially but reasonably priced.  You won't find a better deal!
