Our Elmhurst Area Branch is once again having our used book sale this summer and are thrilled to be back at Sandburg Middle School!

As always, our wonderful members are key to a successful sale. We need your help with sorting,whenever you can spare the time. We will begin setting up and sorting on Monday, June 17 and continue through Wednesday, July 10. As in years past, we sort from 9-noon Mondays through Saturdays. Come any day, stay as long as your schedule allows. There will be no sorting July 4 (everybody gets a holiday!). For new members, this is a great way to get to know the women in our branch, and we promise, it is great comaraderie!

Collection bins will once again be located at the Elmhurst Public Library, Courts Plus, and outside Sandburg Middle School. If you have friends asking where and when they can drop off books, please encourage them to bring them to Sandburg between 9 and noon after June 17. We can assist them with unloading their books.

If you have any questions about the sale, please contact one of the co-chairs: Jennifer Jordan or Renee Oshinski.

The end of the year luncheon was well attended. Everyone had a delicious lunch at the River Forest Country Club in Elmhurst and plenty of time for conversation. This year’s scholarship winner was introduced along with our many new members and our 50-year members. We look forward to the book sale this summer and many enjoyable programs starting in September.
