FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY BOOK BAGS
The Friends of the Library are now selling library book bags
for $12. These sturdy, water-resistant canvas bags are blue with black trim 
and have an image of the library on the front. With a front zipped pocket, they are
approximately 16" x 14", large enough to hold lots of books, DVDs,
CDs, notebooks, a laptop ... anything you'll need for a trip to the library (or
anywhere else). Support your library and carry your essentials in style!
Also available for purchase from the Friends of the Library is the book A History of the Fall River Public Library, 1861-1999. If you've ever wondered how our historic library came to be and how it has changed over the years, this book will answer all your questions. It sells for $2, but is only $1 with the purchase of a book bag.
All funds raised from the sale of books and book bags go to benefit the library.
