Friends of the Library Winter Book Fundraiser: February 17-19

Posted by: SusanC | Posted on: Feb 17 2012

The Friends of the Palatine Library are hosting their Winter Fundraiser this weekend at the Palatine Public Library. They will be selling used books, CDs, DVDs, and more.

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.

Stop by, find a treasure, and support the Library!
