SFV Friends

Do you have boxes of books in your basement taking up space?  What about books that your son or daughter has outgrown?  If they’re in good condition (ex. no water damage or missing pages), we’ll take them!  We are looking for donations to help us pull off the best book sale ever.  Please give your books a new home by dropping them off at the library.  The Friends and the SFV Library thank you!

P. S. We will also take those dusty old VHS tapes and CDs that your spouse has been bugging you to get rid of… it’s a win-win!

Even if you’ve already got plans, you should carve out some time to come to the St. Pius Church Yard Sale and visit the Friends of the Library!  We’ll be at Table #26 with lots of new and used books to buy, membership applications to fill out, and smiling faces to brighten your day.  Don’t forget, St. Pius Church from 9 AM – 1 PM rain or shine… See you there!

Let’s face it, sometimes the library can’t support all of your literary needs.  The next time you’re looking to buy a bestseller or a beach read, use Better World Books.  You can buy new or used books and textbooks, and support worldwide literacy at the same time!

At one point or another we’ve all been guilty of throwing out something that could have been recycled… but don’t toss out your old ink cartridges!  Did you know that the Friends can bring them to Staples and redeem them for store credit?  Support the Friends of the Library and save the earth at the same time by bringing your empty ink cartridges to the display by the Adult Services desk.

St. Pius Church (at 4300 Oak Park Ave.) is hosting its annual yard sale on August 6th from 9 AM – 1 PM, and the SFV Friends of the Library are going to be there!  Pick up some new or used books for both kids and adults and while you’re there, sign up to be an official Friend of the Library.
