Used Book Store Grand Re-Opening

The Used Book Store is re-opening on Monday, April 19, with temporary hours based on volunteer availability, and all books will be ½ price through Wednesday, April 21. Donations will be accepted but limited to 2 boxes or 3 bags of materials. Re-opening is dependent on COVID-19 restrictions, and capacity in the Used Book Store will be limited to 4 people at a time.

The Used Book Store is also looking for volunteers. Volunteer applications are available at the Used Book Store entrance or online below.

In the ongoing effort to support Library programs and special projects, the Friends of the Glenview Library operate a thriving Used Book Store (UBS). Conveniently located in the southwest corner of the Library Lobby, hundreds of donated books and other media are for sale during regular Library hours. A small army of dedicated volunteers sort donations, assist in maintenance of materials, and staff the sales desk. Stop by and browse the well-organized collection and enjoy the quiet reading nook. New books arrive daily for every age and interest. Visit often to take advantage of special offers. For further information, call 847-901-5910. Support Your Library and Save.
