Irene Overman Kreer Used Book Store
Welcome
The Used Book Store remains closed until further notice. No book donations accepted.
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.
