The Friends of the Emmaus Public Library will hold its eighth annual holiday book sale and reception in the Margaret Knoll Gardner Room of the library 6 to 8 p.m. Dec. 2.

Held in cooperation with the Emmaus Main Street Partners holiday celebration, the sale will feature books for all interests and ages in gift-worthy condition at budget-pleasing prices.

An Emmaus High School music ensemble will play seasonal music. Shoppers can sample wine, cheese and punch.

The Friends will present a ceremonial check in the amount of $30,000 to the library, representing the organization’s annual contribution of $17,000, the $11,635 raised by the spring used book sale, and its increased support of the children’s summer reading program. Since the founding of the organization, the Friends have contributed well over $250,000 to the library.

The Emmaus Public Library is located at 11 E. Main Street in Emmaus.
