Thanks for making 2024 Book Sale a Big Success!!
The Friends of Beebe have begun collecting books for 2025 Book Sale!
The Friends of the Beebe Library will be collecting books on Saturday, December 7th, from 9am until Noon, as part of their mission to have another well-stocked and successful Book Sale in 2025.
The Book drop-off will take place in the parking lot of the Hurd School in Wakefield at 27 Cordis St, corner of Pleasant St. We make it as easy as possible for you. You drive into the parking lot at rear of the school and stay in your car while we unload the boxes and bags of books from your car. This event takes place rain or shine. We do ask that you reserve a time slot so we can manage traffic in the parking lot and keep neighborhood walkers safe.
We ask that you bring only books to the drop-off - no media (records, dvds, cds), and no textbooks or encyclopedias. We can only sell books in good to excellent condition, so if you are clearing out books from the basement or attic and they’re in fair to poor condition (dusty, musty or falling apart), please put them into your recycling or trash. Donated books will be offered for sale at the Friends of the Library's annual Book Sale next spring and funds raised support the programs of the Lucius Beebe Memorial Library. Thanks to donations, this year we were able to purchase two single-occupancy virtual meeting booths, now available on the Library’s 2nd floor.

The Friends of Beebe Library, a non-profit, community-based group, was formed in 1972 to provide support for special activities, services and initiatives of the Wakefield, MA public library. Hundreds of your neighbors support the Friends through dues and as volunteers.
Believing that free access to information and ideas is fundamental to an enlightened community, the Friends of Beebe Library enhance and promote our Library's role by:
-
Sponsoring programs compatible with the Library's cultural, educational and recreational role in the community.
-
Raising and providing funds for services, equipment and activities beyond the scope of the operating budget of the Beebe Library. For example, we fund the summer reading programs, museum passes, and we provided the seed money for the DVD collection at the Beebe Library and help fund the Business Center as well.
