Clinton-Macomb Public Library
The Friends of CMPL is a nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to improving library services through underwriting programs and special projects. They are currently raising funds through on-going book sales, Amazon online sales, and an annual Fall Quality Book/AV sale.
The Friends group is led by a board of directors, and meets on the second Tuesday of most months at 2 p.m. at the Main Library (attending meetings is optional). Join us at one of these upcoming meetings:
- Tues., April 11 at 2 p.m.
- Tues., May 9 at 2 p.m.
- Tues., June 13 at 2 p.m.
Book Sale Information
If you are searching for used books, CD’s, DVD’s, audio books, and puzzles to purchase, visit the on-going sale in the lobby of the Main Library and the shelves at the South Branch. Books are available at the North Branch. These sales are available to the public year-round during normal library hours. See the “Friends Used Book Sales” tab for details.
Online Sales
The Friends group also raises funding for the libraries through their online Amazon store front, where approximately a thousand new and gently-used books, CDs, and DVDs are available for sale. Visit the Amazon Shop for a great deal.
