Sarah C, Beatriz G, Helen:
"We believe all would agree library is a wonderful knowledgeable
world with plenty of helpful information for every one....In it our English
is improving step by step; our lives are changing and getting better.
All of us realized the benefit we got from the library. We couldn't help
to shout in our minds, "Thank you library for changing our lives!"
The Marin Literacy Program provides Marin County adults with free student-centered
instruction in reading, writing and speaking to help them reach their full potential
at work, at home, and in the community. For more information, please visit
us on the web, or contact Dena
Hermosilla Higgins, Development & Outreach, at 415-458-5042x2.
There are still some lazy summer days ahead--why not build up your reading
stash? Bargain Sunday is August 3--and we're selling all regular-priced books
for HALF-PRICE. You read right- all categories throughout the store will
be on sale for one day only--noon to 4. The sale does not include newer items
and individually-priced books (books with price stickers). But that leaves the
majority of our inventory up for grabs! We're overloaded with donations (thank
you) and we need to keep it moving. Pick up some great reads with pricing at
$1.50 for hardcovers, down to 25 cents for the kids. This is a great opportunity
to stock up! Don't miss it!
Our store hours are Tues/Thurs/Sat 10-4, Wed and Sun Noon-4, and Friday 10-7;
we're closed Monday. For more information about the Friends
and The Book Place, visit our website: http://marinlibraryfriends.marin.org.
