URGENT UPDATE:

Any volunteers between the ages of 14-17 will need a valid work permit. If you have signed up and are between those ages please provide us a copy of your work permit. THANK YOU!

CALLING ALL BOOK LOVERS, STRONG ARMS & COMMUNITY HELPERS! WOULD YOU LIKE TO VOLUNTEER BUT MAYBE NOT COMMIT TO JOINING AN ORGANIZATION RIGHT AT THIS TIME? HERE IS YOUR CHANCE!

The Friends of the Taylor Community Library are getting ready for our LAST Used Book Sale of the year on November 14, and we could use a few extra hands (and muscles)!
We have LOTS of books, and unfortunately, they haven't learned to move themselves yet!
Here's where we need help:
-Friday, November 13 – SETUP DAY!
We need volunteers to help move some fairly heavy boxes of books from our storage room to the Community Rooms, where we'll get everything ready for the big sale. And you can just move boxes or you can also help us set up! We have the rooms reserved for set up from 10am – 6pm; whatever time you have would be great. The morning is really when we need those strong arms!
BONUS! If you're still helping at noon, we'll treat you to pizza and breadsticks! Because moving books works up an appetite!
Saturday, November 14 – TEARDOWN!
Our sale ends at 3 PM, and we'll need some helping hands to pack up and move the remaining books back to storage.
WORK FOR BOOKS!
As a little thank-you, for every hour you volunteer, you can pick out one FREE BOOK to take home! Work 2 hours get two books of your choice! Not a bad deal for book lovers!
You do NOT have to be a member of the Friends to help! Everyone is welcome to help!
LOCAL BUSINESSES & ORGANIZATIONS: Looking for a community service opportunity for your employees or group? We'd love to have you join us! Bring a few coworkers and help support your community library.
Whether you can give us an hour or several, every helping hand makes a difference!
Interested in helping? Please comment below or send us an email to: [email protected] so we can get an idea of how many volunteers to expect.
Help us move some books, enjoy a little pizza, take home a few good reads, and support a great cause!
Many hands make light work... especially when those hands are carrying heavy boxes of books!

A HUGE THANK YOU to the volunteers from Worthington Steel!

The Friends of the Taylor Community Library would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the incredible volunteers from Worthington Steel who generously donated their time to help us prepare for our recent Used Book Sale.

They worked tirelessly moving box after box of books, CDs, DVDs, puzzles, and more from our storage rooms into the sale area. These weren't light boxes—they were packed full, especially with books, and required a tremendous amount of lifting and carrying.

What would have taken our small group of volunteers an entire day to accomplish was completed in a remarkably short time thanks to their energy, teamwork, and willingness to help. They didn't stop there—they also helped organize the sale by subject, making everything easier for our shoppers.

This is what community is all about. When people generously give their time and talents, amazing things happen. Their kindness made a tremendous difference and helped ensure our sale was a success.

From all of us at the Friends of the Taylor Community Library, thank you, Worthington Steel volunteers! Your hard work, generosity, and community spirit are deeply appreciated. ❤️

March 21 2026 - The Friends of the Taylor Community Library enjoyed hosting members of a Canton-based softball team family at the quarterly used book sale. Crystal Springer of South Lyon proudly said the Detroit Bees Softball Organization that competes 10 months of the year. The squad features girls from around the region who enjoy reading and finding good deals on books. "Taya, Ellenore and Annabelle play on the team and all are big readers," said Coach Crystal, who also is a big reader. "We all bond over books. Taya is a resident of Taylor and invited us all out to shop for books to stock our shelves together." The next Taylor Friends sale is July 11 2026. Hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The library is located at 12303 Pardee Road on the campus of Taylor's Heritage Park. Feel free to tag and share the photos in this gallery.
