Friends of the Cherokee County Public Libraries

Tomorrow is the big day!!! We are so excited to open a 2nd Bookstore location for the Friends of the Cherokee County Public Libraries!!

Please join us and the Sequoyah Library staff for the ribbon cutting and grand opening. The newly updated location is beautiful and has so many great areas for everyone to gather in small and large groups! We can’t wait for you to see it!

Of course while you’re there, you need to check out our bookstore! We have a great spot right at the entrance of the library, you won’t be able to miss us!!
Donations will be accepted this week on Thursday and Friday while we are in the store to greet patrons, but in the future the library will accept donations for us on Mondays and Wednesdays, no more than 3 boxes/bags at a time for the first few months. If you have a large donation just reach out and we can make other arrangements!!

We can’t wait to see everyone out to support their community tomorrow!!

Congratulations to these students! We hope to continue our participation with this project in the future!
