The Friends of the Galesburg Public Library group was organized in 1984 to support the library's work. The Friends is a nonprofit organization open to everyone, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, disability, age, or place of residence. The group operates under the supervision and guidance of the Board of Trustees and does not involve itself in library policy.
Membership brochures are available here and at the library. You may contact the Friends via email for additional information.
The Friends are always looking for new members who want to support the Galesburg Public Library’s programs and services. Please call the library at 343-6118 for more information.
The Friends hold two books sales a year. The next sale will take place on May 12 and May 14, 2012.
On the first day, the sale runs from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Books, records, and cassettes are sold for 50¢. Videotapes, DVDs, audiobooks, and CDS are sold for $1. Children's hardback books are sold for 50¢; children's paperback books are 25˘. Vintage books, magazines and sheet music are priced individually.
Remaining items are discounted and sold for $1.50 a bag on the second day of the sale, which runs from 9:00-2:00 pm. Vintage books are sold at a greatly reduced price on the second day.
Donations of items for the book sales are accepted at any time. However, it is very much appreciated when they are dropped off prior to the hectic two weeks before a sale. Bringing items in early gives the Friends time to sort and organize them for the sale. A big thank you to everyone who donates items and to everyone who shops at the sales.
The current officers of the Friends are:
Pamela Van Kirk - President
Liz Means - Vice President
Barbara Bulkeley - Treasurer
Vacant - Secretary
