The Friends of the Yorkville Public Library announces that the annual Used Book Sale for 2020 has been canceled due to concerns about COVID-19. The sale was scheduled for Labor Day weekend in September,and it would have been the 12th annual event. The book sale is a hands on event, and the safety of volunteers and the community is paramount.
Until further notice, no donations of books for the sale will be accepted. Over the past 11 years, the Used Book Sale has brought in more than $56,000 for the Library.
The Friends is a volunteer group dedicated to supporting the Library and regrets it is unable to give proceeds from this sale to the Library. Fundraiser money goes directly to the Library for programs and services for the community.
