The Friends of the Athens County Public Libraries is having a Book Donation Drive Thru event on Saturday, March 29, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Athens Public Library, 30 Home Street, Athens. People can bag or box up their used good-condition books, drive them up to the front entrance of the Athens Public Library, and let Friends volunteers remove them from their cars.

The Friends of the Athens County Public Libraries support all the libraries of the countywide library system. Our major source of revenue is earned through our permanent used Book Store located within the Athens Public Library. People also may support The Friends through memberships. The Friends success has been made possible because of the generosity of book donors and customers of our book sales, as well as loyal members.
