Lela's Book Shop is run by the Friends of the Durango Public Library (FOL) and sells high quality used books in great condition. Our little Book Shop generates over $20,000 in sales a year and 100% of that goes directly to the library. Projects such as our Literary Festival, Summer Reading program for adults and children, book clubs, Hoopla and other dynamic programs are funded by the proceeds from Lela's Book Shop, donations and our 3 book sales a year. In the last 3 years FOL has given the Durango Public Library almost $200,000. With your help, we can continue to support the library's vital role in our community. Please give today to secure the library's future for tomorrow.
