Due to a large number of books and limited aisle space we ask:

  • Please do not block aisles with stacks of books or bags
  • Please don’t sit on the floor to decide on selections; it blocks the aisles
  • Do not pull out quantities of books to examine.  Pick out the book you want and keep it in your stack
  • Booksellers may use scanners as long as they follow the above rules and do not interfere with other people’s shopping

***Attention Book Sellers.  Illinois sales tax is now included in the price of each book.  If you collect sales tax, we will need a copy of your Certificate of Registration for our files.  We will be unable to deduct the tax without the certificate.

Funds raised by our twice-yearly book sales, including lobby book sales, and the sale of items such as Library book bags, all benefit the Library. Because of help from the Friends, the Library is able to use taxpayer revenue for books and other essential items while still offering many programs and services.
