These black bags feature the Friends of the Lafayette Library logo and are sturdy as well as stylish. They also come with a convenient carrying case that fits easily into a pocket or purse because you never know when the urge to shop will hit you and no one wants to carry home plastic bags anymore.

Get yours for $5 at the Friends Corner Book Shop and, while you’re there, fill it with bargains from the Book Shop’s huge selection. Most books are in great condition and cost $2 or less.
