(SURF CITY, NJ) -- The books, DVDs and compact discs that you no longer need might be just want your neighbor wants – and vice versa. Friends of the Island Library will accept donations Thursday, March 23 for their Two-Day Book Sale, 9:00am through 4:00pm Friday and Saturday, March 24 and 25, at the Ocean County Library Long Beach Island Branch.
