In preparation for the upcoming annual Fall Book Sale, the Friends of the Racine Public Library are accepting donations of gently used books, cd's and DVD's in good condition. Specifically needed are non-fiction material and children's books. Book donations for the sale may be dropped off at the Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., during normal operating hours. The library is open from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Wednesday, 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Thursday, 1-5:30 p.m. Friday, and 2-5 p.m. Saturday.
The 2008 Fall Book Sale will be held on Saturday, Oct. 4 from 1-5 p.m. and on Sunday, Oct. 5 from 2-5 p.m. Members of the Friends of the Library are invited to a special preview sale on Friday, Oct. 4 from 3:30-5:00 p.m.
Friends of the Library are advocates for the Racine Public Library, speaking at public budget hearings, urging adequate funding, and promoting library value to the community. Several fund-raising events are held throughout the year, including book sales and the annual Breakfast with the Authors in November. All proceeds go to fund library programs and collection materials. The Friends have provided funds for successful programs such as Preschool Storytime, Battle of the Books, and the annual Summer Reading Challenge; and for such items as computer equipment, TTY printers for the hearing impaired, and large print books.
