| Why
do you solicit donations of old magazines to the library? |
Used
magazines are sold for 10 cents each in the Friends of Smyrna
Library Bookstore near the circulation desk. Because of the
nominal price, this fundraising program is both popular and
a great way for Smyrnans to recyle their magazines. |
