Blind Date with a Book
February 1 - 25, 2023
​$12 Members/ $15 Non-Members

Stop by the Springfield Art Association and participate in Blind Date with a Book!  This year we have more books than ever, but you won't get to know what it is until you purchase!  Don't worry though, we give you clues such as genre and the first line from the first chapter to give you an idea of what you might be getting into!  Paired with customized milk or dark chocolates from Cocoa Blue Chocolates in Rochester, this unique pairing will certainly give you or someone you care for a special night in.

Annual Used Book Sale
TBA for 2023
​

​Throughout the year, the Michael Victor II Art library receives generous donations of gently used books. Art related books and other great titles for adults and youth are sold at discounted prices in support of the art library.

If you are interested in donating books for our annual sale, please contact our offices at 217-523-2631 to arrange a time to drop off. We accept everything except non-art related textbooks, yearbooks, and computer program manuals.  We are also now asking that you do not donate magazines even if they are art related.

Sale will be held during the Edward's Place Fine Art Fair.
