The Friends of the Troy Public Library is happy to announce one of our favorite annual events: I Love My Library at Market Block Books on Sunday November 17.

Here’s how it works: You can shop at Market Block Books located on River Street in downtown Troy or at their online store – as long as the merchandise purchase it made on Nov. 17, 20% of the sales will go towards the Troy Public Library. It’s a great time to stock up on books you’re excited about or ones you plan to gift for the holidays. If you don’t see something you like or you’re in the market for an upcoming release, you can ask staff to help you (pre-)order something and if you pay on the day of the event, the library will still receive 20% of the sale.

Want to support your local library even more? The Troy Public Library will have a wish list selection of books they are hoping will be gifted to them to add to the library’s collection. You can buy a book that will then be donated to the library and 20% of that sale also goes toward the library – your gift counts twice! AND you’re supporting a local, independent bookstore.

Start making your list now, the event is coming up fast!
