The Friends of the Acton Libraries is a 100% volunteer organization that has a unique remit; we donate funds to Acton's 8 elementary middle-school and high-school libraries, as well as the 2 town libraries. Our booksales and other activities raise money which we then distribute to these 10 entities. The funds we give to the elementary school libraries represent almost 50% of their book buying budget...

Book Sale Leftovers: People often ask us where the leftover books go at the end of a sale. We are lucky to be in touch with volunteers from charitable organizations who take many of them, including More Than Words. If you represent a charitable organization and would like books, please contact friendsofactonlibraries@gmail.com before the sale. The privilege of collecting on the day of the Sunday sale is extended only to those who have contacted in advance.

Donations: The Friends are grateful to everyone who donates books. We welcome all books in good condition, and we especially love to get good-quality children's books.

We encourage our volunteers of all ages and welcome newcomers too! Email friendsofactonlibraries@gmail.com for more info.
