The Friends of the library donate their time year round to several major revenue generators to raise funds for the library including two annual Great Jacksonville Booksales held during the fall and
spring at the Fair rounds where great literary buys can be discovered for a just a a few dollars.
The Booktique owned and operated by the Friends, and staffed entirely by volunteers, is located in the Laura Street entrance of the Main Library. Booktique offers great buys on books for readers of all ages. The Saturday Morning Bookstore, also staffed entirely by volunteers, is open each Saturday and oeprated out of the University Park Library ranch. Volunteers sell, sort and organize thousands of books in prepration to seel by Friends volunteers.
"I've always enjoyed working with people who enjoy the library and reading just as much as I do," Joyce Patten, Booktique volunteer said. "I love that the Booktique offers such affordable books for everyone and it all benefits the library!"

Library is a place where you have fun with books...so nice furniture that stores a lot of books yet does not make a very loud noise through it's structure makes a good impact.
