Friends of Macomb County Library

After the success of the gift & book table in December and January, the Friends of Macomb County Library have decided to replace the silent auction items with an ongoing sale table full of books, videos, and gift sets.

Thank you for your support of both the silent auctions and the book table. The Friends use proceeds from these sales to benefit the Macomb County Library. We have supported the children’s summer reading program, redone landscaping in front of the library, bought much-needed new chairs for the meeting room, and have helped in other ways, too. We look forward to your visit to see what’s new on the sale tables. New items are introduced to the table regularly and our “stock” is always changing. We have fiction, non-fiction, novels, and many popular videos.

Until the new year, auctions are on hold. However, we have a table full of really nice gifts for $10 or less. Items include books, audio books, gift sets, and more. We welcome you to stop by the library at 16480 Hall Road in Clinton Township to buy some lovely gifts. We add new items daily, so stop on by!

-Mad hot ballroom DVD [ISBN 141571455X] Minimum bid: $2  Marilyn Agrelo’s documentary follows three competing groups of fifth graders as they learn the music and the steps of swing, the rumba, the tango, and other ballroom dances. A picture of New York kid culture (Dominican students from Washington Heights, upscale kids from Tribeca, Italians and Asians from Bensonhurst), the film focusses not only on the buoyant work of the contestants but also on their dedicated teachers. Agrelo’s filmmaking provides telling glimpses of the students’ home lives, and she avoids any cloying sentiment. What she captures is a moving, joyous childhood escapade. -
