Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.

Visit the Updated Book Nook

We've enlarged and updated our Used Book Nook at Alyssa's Antique Depot at 4586 Chumuckla Highway. Come in, sit a bit, and find some great books!

Used Books are available here at great prices! Your purchase makes it possible for the Friends to purchase new books for the library. And Alyssa's makes the booth space gratis to the Friends. Be sure to thank them for providing this community service!

 

Thanks, Pace!

The Friends' Annual Book Sale was a great success! We made about $3000, which puts us one quarter of the way toward our goal! We also registered or renewed memberships for 77+ library supporters! Many thanks to the hard working members who put on this successful book sale, and to all of you who visited!

The Friends Board set next year's goal for library donations at $12,000. During the previous fiscal year, the Pace Friends donated $11648 in purchases for the library. This money comes from memberships, Kay Brown Fundraiser, cash donations; and the Book Sales at Alyssa's, the library, and the Annual Book Sale. Thanks to everyone who participated!
