President of the Friends of the Brighton District Library Marsha Luetjen commented “The Book Sale selection is vast and varied, the books are in great condition, and all profits support the library through program sponsorship, equipment upgrades, and other necessary financial needs. Due to the hard work and creativity of our volunteers, Board of Directors, and generous donors, our storage unit has been filled. Thank you all”.
