Check out the ongoing book sale in the 1st floor annex. Hardbacks are only 50¢ and paperbacks are 25¢. Watch for the large book sale coming in April during National Library Week.
Each month, beautiful raffle baskets containing unique items are on display in the lobby. Chances may be purchased for $1. Sarris candy bars are always for sale at the main desk for $1.
New in the lobby area is the Monessen Library Wish Tree. It is decorated with ornaments that show items that the Library would like to have. Some are inexpensive, and others are a larger purchase.
