Children\’s Online Bookselling

FOL stands for the Friends of the Library. These are the organizations that sell the book which were donated to raise funds for various public libraries. If you go to eBay or Amazon and put the title in the search box you will see the closed auction or listing and each picture of the item. You have more valuable books imprinted on your brain if you take a look.
