Welcome to the Towanda District Library!

Book Sale July 3rd 12-7 and July 4th 8-5 at both the Flea Market and the Library.

Book Sale!

The Towanda District Library will be selling gently loved books at the North Park Flea Market AND the Library July 3rd and 4th to make room for new materials!

For $5, get a reusable Towanda District Library shopping bag. Now’s the fun part. FILL IT UP! That’s right! For just $5 you can get as many books as you can fit in the big shopping bag! Our goal is to have little or nothing to take back to the library after the sale.

Proceeds support the library’s mission of creating connections within the community by providing services, programming and access to information.

Interested in helping out during the sale? Contact Piper at piper@towandalibrary,org.
