That BIG GREEN BOX turns books into fund$ for the library!
Wondering about that green "Drop Books Here" box outside the library in the parking lot? The Friends of the SOPL have partnered with Better World Books to earn a percentage of
their profits for our library and help spread literacy throughout the world. Read more about it here.
It's NOT a place to return library books but you can DONATE books you no longer want! It's great way to get rid of those "hard-to-give-away" books such as encyclopedias, user's manuals, and
textbooks. Our volunteers keep on top of reporting when this box is full, and your donations get picked up in a timely manner. (During our book donation days for our annual Book Sale, we temporarily
pause donations at the green box)

The Book Cage is OPEN! Please call ahead to confirm that a volunteer is manning the store.

information, assistance and fun.
