Welcome to the Friends of the Library Donated Jewelry Sale!
Since 2021, our annual sales have helped raised funds to support the many services provided by our beloved library. We couldn’t do it without the generous support of our customers, volunteers, and donors–thank you!
Here, you’ll find details about our next sale, donation requests, and the general rules for the event. Due to the popularity of the sale and the well-being of our customers, we’ve implemented a few guidelines to ensure a fun and exciting experience for all. All proceeds benefit the Wilmington Memorial Library. Thank you for supporting the Friends of WML and the Library!
