Book Bargains at the Library

Friends of the Lemont Public Library will sell books at reduced prices Wednesday through Saturday.

If you love to read – and love a good bargain, too – don’t miss the Friends of the Lemont Public Library’s Fall Book Sale. Book lovers can shop through thousands of titles Wednesday through Saturday at the library at 50 E. Wend Street.

Hardback books will be on sale for $1 and paperbacks for 50 cents each. And, if you buy  a Friends of the Library book bag for $1 anytime during the book sale, you can fill it with books on Saturday afternoon for only $2.

Friends of the Library will hold a preview night for members only from 6:30-8:30 Wednesday. If you haven’t joined Friends of the Library yet, you can pick up a membership at the door and shop during preview night.
