Imagine great friends, good books, and a tree-mendous holiday sale all wrapped up in one big package. It's all happening here at the Des Plaines Public Library on Saturday, December 12th from 9:30 to 3:30 in the first floor meeting rooms.
If you've been to our sales before then you'll probably recognize some of the volunteers pictured below who help make our book sales so successful. The Friends are always looking for volunteers and membership is a bargain at $5 for an individual and $10 for a family. If you don't have time to volunteer, the Friends would love to have your gently used books for their sales. Money raised from the sales is used to fund some of the programming at the library, like the Canterbury Carolers who will be performing this Sunday, December 6th, at 2:00 PM, or the Maxwell Street Klezmer Band who presented a musical program in October, or the many programs for children offered at the library. Come join us for the holiday sale!

Add to that, the Friends booksale helps the library and is VERY easy on your wallet. You can't go wrong there!
Thank you Friends for all that you do for us
Thanks again to the Friends for all their help. The Friends are responsible for all the contests we have on the 3rd floor including those great gift cards to all the Des Plaines restaurants.
do you buy books?
A very big thank you to the Friends for all that they do for us...
To Anonymous Of Dec 7th - no the Friends don't buy books. They accept book donations to sell at their sales to raise money for the library to use.
Thank You Friends of the Library!
