Posted by: SusanC | Posted on: Jan 30 2013

The Friends of the Palatine Library are hosting a used book sale February 15-17. There will be thousands of items for sale, including DVDs and music CDs, almost all of which have been donated to the Library.

The energetic and dedicated Friends group has been a library affiliate for more than 60 years. By fundraising efforts the Friends have provided furnishings, materials and equipment that otherwise would not be available for use by library visitors and staff.
