Special Fundraising Event at Barnes & Noble for the Bookmobile (extended through March 18!)

• March 16, 2018 , 9:00 am - 11:00 pm / Barnes & Noble, Shoppers World, Framingham

Great News! Barnes and Noble is leaving the library's wishlist up for purchase through the weekend, March 17-18. So if you missed your chance to shop in the store on Friday, you can still buy a book for the bookmobile on Saturday and Sunday. And if you present the bookfair id# 12321311 or bring a printed copy of the voucher, B&N will continue to contribute a percentage of your purchase to our fundraiser.

In support of the Framingham Public Library Foundation, Barnes & Noble will contribute a portion of your product purchase to help make our Bookmobile a reality. Come to the store on March 16 or make your purchase online from March 16-20 at BN.com/bookfairs.

And while you're at Barnes & Noble, enjoy this special event:
