PROGRAMS
Book Sale
An annual used book sale sponsored by the Thomas Township Library is held in
late spring. The selections offered include novels, romances, nonfiction,
children's books, puzzles and more. Most items are priced at .25 and .50 each.
The proceeds are used to help support the children's summer reading program.
Donations of slightly used books, puzzles and media are accepted throughout the
year and are the foundation of the sale.
Reading/Discussion Group
If you are interested in quality reading and participating in lively
discussions, the adult reading group is for you. Participants meet on the
second Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. to review the latest selection. If
interested, contact the library so that a copy of the upcoming title can be
reserved for you.
