Annual Used Book Sale
September 21-22, 2024 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. TIP: We greatly appreciate donations in several small boxes and/or bags rather than one big heavy box. Sale will be held during the Edward's Place Fine Art Fair. |
