Book Sale
Anyone who comes to the library is encouraged to donate or purchase gently used books. The Friends group maintains an ongoing sale of these books in the foyer of the library. Most books are priced at one dollar. From this sale, the Friends earns over $3,000 a year to give back to the library!

Snack Sale
The Friends group also offers a snack sale. These items can be purchased and consumed within the library. Items change regularly, but often include chips, crackers, candy bars, sodas, water, and coffee.

Bring whatever you're working on and join this lively group for creation, ideas, and camaraderie. This group began meeting monthly and became popular so quickly that they now meet weekly. In addition to working on individual projects, the group as a whole has contributed to several charities.

Annual Yard Sale
The Friends of the library host an annual yard sale on the first Friday/Saturday of May. Donations are accepted during the month of April. Thanks to our tireless group of volunteers, this is our biggest event of the year! Details and dates can be found on our Facebook page.

The Friends of the Rustburg Library are pleased to announce a $1,000 educational scholarship opportunity. Some qualifications include:

• High school senior graduating in the Spring of 2025 from Rustburg High School, home schooling, or a private institution.
• Live full-time in the Rustburg High School district.
• Has chosen to continue their education at an accredited two-year community college, four-year college/university, or trade school.
• Volunteers for the Campbell County Public Library for at least 10 documented volunteer hours (arranged by the library's Branch Manager).

For the full list of qualifications, please review this document.

The Friends' funding for all of the above comes entirely from annual membership fees and book sales. Our operating costs are minimal, and all our board members are volunteers. Therefore, the amount of money we make determines the amount we can give to the library.
