The East Brunswick Friends of the Library are hosting their 45th annual Book & Media Sale at the JC Penney Court in Brunswick Square Mall (Route 18, East Brunswick) this March 25-31. More Info
This is the biggest fundraising project the Friends host each year," said Ellen Cramer, Friends of the Library President.

Cramer estimates that the sale will have tens of thousands of items available for purchase.
"Every year we hear from the Book Sale shoppers about the treasures they find," Cramer added. "We have books, videos, DVDs and CDs covering any topic and theme imaginable. It is a great way to build your personal library and give back to the community at the same time."
