September 11 Reflections, Detroit/Michigan History, and Troy Daze coming soon! Weekend of September 7-8, 2024 at the Friends Book Shop

This weekend at the Friends of the Troy Public Library Book Shop, we solemnly mark the 23rd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks.  Our Center Table features a poignant collection of photo documentary volumes that capture the events and aftermath of that fateful day.  Join us in honoring the memory of those we lost while reflecting on the enduring resilience of the human spirit.

In addition, our Center Table is showcasing books celebrating the rich history and picturesque glory of Detroit and Michigan.  Delight in pages filled with stunning photographs and fascinating stories that highlight the essence of our beloved city and state.  Whether you’re a lifelong resident or a recent newcomer, these books offer a captivating glimpse into what makes the Motor City and The Mitten truly special.

September is Self-Improvement Month, and we’re here to support your journey towards a better you!  Enjoy a fantastic 50% off on a special cartful of books focused on Personal Growth, Diet & Nutrition, and Health & Exercise.  Whether you’re looking to adopt healthier habits, find fresh inspiration, or embark on a new fitness routine, this collection has something for everyone.

Our Book Shop offers a wide array of gently-used fiction and non-fiction books of all genres, plus magazines, CDs, DVDs, games, and jigsaw puzzles, with most items priced at $1 or less!  Remember, every purchase supports Library’s special programming and initiatives. (Check out our recent post about the brand-new Bookmobile that’s hitting the streets thanks to support from the Friends.)

Visit us on the lower level of the Troy Public Library this Saturday from 10AM-1PM and Sunday from 1PM-4PM.

Note: Both the Library and Book Shop will be closed next weekend, September 13-15, for the Troy Family Daze festival. 🎡

Our thanks to Verena and our Book Shop volunteers!
