Friends of Lincoln Library

“Go Green” bags

The Friends of Lincoln Library recently purchased recyclable “Go Green” bags. The bags which can be used each time you visit Lincoln Library, can be purchased for $2.00 each at the main library’s Circulation Desk and at the branches. The bags come in red, navy, forest green, and black.

Membership

The Friends of Lincoln Library invite you to join them in supporting Springfield's Public Library. They share a common belief that a good library is extremely important to the intellectual and cultural growth of the community. Members of the Friends work together to help Lincoln Library in a number of ways. Funds raised from annual book sales are given to the library to enhance the collection, support programs and purchase equipment. In addition, the Friends provide Dial-A-Story (525-5000) for children. They encourage area writers by sponsoring the Writer of the Year Awards. They support the library staff by underwriting the cost of its annual Staff Institute.

Yes! I want to join the Friends of Lincoln Library.  Print a brochure with membership information.

Book Sale

Mark your calendar for the Summer Book Sale, which will be held on Friday, June 18, 2010, and Saturday, June 19, 2010.

Book Sale Donations

The library accepts donations of good used books year round for the sale at the Main Library. There is a donation bin in our lobby. We cannot accept: Books that are water damaged, moldy, etc. We do not accept magazines (the exception being new magazines of popular interest for our Library Store). The Friends appreciate your donations but please remember that if you give us items unsuitable for the sale this causes extra expense for the library to sort through and discard them.
