The Friends of the Dunwoody Library thank the community for making our recent book sale a great success. Thanks to those who shopped with us and those who made donations of books and other materials. The sale raised over $20,000 which will be used for library materials and programs.
October 16-22 is National Friends of the Library Week. The Dunwoody Friends will have an information table at the library during the week and will celebrate our appreciation for the library with a wide range of educational and fun activities for people of all ages. All the activities are free.
