Special
Preview Tonight
for Members of the Friends
at the Wauconda Area Library
Book shoppers need
look no further than the Annual Fall Book Sale at the Wauconda Area
Library, which will be held Friday, October 8 through Sunday, October 10.
The book sale is sponsored by the Friends of the Wauconda Area Library.
Thousands of books, music CD’s, videotapes and more will be
available at this year’s sale.
Friends
of the Library are invited to the "Friends Preview Night" on
Thursday, October 7 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Annual memberships and renewals
will be made available at the
library
’s information desk in advance and also
during the Preview Night as well as throughout the sale.
The Friends of the
Library will greatly appreciate donations of books, videos, and CD’s for
the sale until
noon
Thursday, October 7.
The success of the sale depends on the generosity of book donors.
All donated materials may be dropped of at the
library.
In recent months, the
Friends have generously supported the Movie Theatre @ Your Library series,
the Summer Entertainment Series, and the Wild West Day for young readers.
With the fall season upon us, the Friends are now hard at work preparing
for the Annual Fall Book Sale, raising funds to support programs and
activities for
library
patrons of all ages. Some great
Friends-sponsored events are already planned, including crafting classes
for parents and children and a "Mystery @ Your Library" event
being held in October. The Friends of the Library enrich the community by
raising funds to support
library
services.
The Friends also act
as
library
advocates and work to ensure that the
community understands the importance of the
library
. Becoming a Friend of the Library has its
advantages! Members of the Friends are entitled to a 50% discount on all
Friends-sale books. In addition, Friends will receive an invitation to a
special "Friends Only" preview sale prior to the fall book sale.
The Friends meet on the second Wednesday of the month at
7:30 p.m.
