The Friends of the Oak Park Public Library are getting ready for their Annual Book Fair, July 11-13. Volunteers have been busy sorting books but we are running out of books to sort. We need more books to make this year’s sale a success.
Oak Parkers have always been generous supporters of our library. Please take the opportunity to clean out your bookshelves and donate those books that you have already read and do not want to keep. You can also donate DVDs, CDs, puzzles and games. You will be helping your library to continue its excellent community programs and services through the funds raised at the sale. And you will also be making room for the new-to-you books that you can find at the sale at great prices.
You can bring your donations to the main library any time it is open through June 28. You can also drop your books in the Open Books bin located in the alley behind the library at any time and those books that you donate through June 30 will go to the sale. Finally, you can drive up to the library’s loading dock on Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. through June 28 and volunteers will unload your donations from your car.
Please donate and please come to the Book Fair. Details can be found at oppl.org/fair.
