FOLK operates an Online Center in Kingwood for specially donated books being sold online through an Amazon storefront. The Center is staffed 100% by volunteers who list, package, and ship these books from this location. Our Center is a very interesting part of what FOLK does and is a real revenue generator for helping our Kingwood Branch Library. The Center also provides opportunities for students who need volunteer hours for the National Honor Society and other service organizations in Kingwood.
Don’t forget if you want to become a volunteer, we’d love to have you. Apply here.
When purchasing a used book on Amazon, look for “libraryfriendsgroup” as the seller. Our store listing over 7,000 books can be found here.
Of course, the real lesson behind all this is that we are nothing without your contributions. Your books can be valuable in supporting our mission!
Visit our online store and find something special.
Let us check them out before you decide to throw them out!
