Book Sale Guidelines
The Friends of the Bloomingdale Public Library host the semi-annual book sales every year. There you will find gently-used books for adults & children, videos, DVDs, CDs, games & more!
We now accept MasterCard & Visa.
There are no restrictions or limitations to what you can buy. There are also discounts if you donate books and games before the sale or if you buy a “Bag of Knowledge” Friends tote bag.
On Sundays, we have fun with our “Mystery Table” giveaways!
All proceeds benefit the Friends of the Bloomingdale Public Library for reading programs, library materials (3D printer, smart table, etc.) and other events.
Ask for details at the main desk or call 630-529-3120.
