The Friends of Granby Public Libraries thanks our town for another wonderful year of the Friends’ annual book sale. The 43rd annual sale in late July was a huge success, raising more than $13,612. The book sale is by far the Friends’ largest fundraiser of the year, and all proceeds go toward helping fund both of Granby’s libraries.
