Used Book Sales

The Friends of the Devon Public Library collect used books and A/V items in new or like new condition for their book sales. Due to lack of space, the library cannot accept donations on a regular basis. Please watch for advertising before the next book sale, as we are usually able to accept these items the week leading up to the sale. Thank you for your continued donations and understanding.
