Friends of Starr Library
The Friends of the Starr Library host several book sales each year, generally during library hours on a consecutive Friday and Saturday.
“A library in the middle of a community is a cross between an emergency exit, a life-raft and a festival. They are cathedrals of the mind; hospitals of the soul; theme parks of the imagination.”
– Caitlin Moran
