Big Fall Book Sale Through October 1

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County’s annual Big Fall Book Sale runs now through October 1st at the Algonquin Township Garage, 3702 US Route 14 between Crystal Lake and Cary. Drive straight back to last garage on the right.

The sale is open from 10 am- 6 pm daily. Books prices have dropped to $2 or less for hardcovers and $1 or less for paperbacks. VHS movies are priced 4 for $1, CDs & DVDs are $1 each. Prices will go even lower on the last day of the sale, Saturday, October 1st!

For over 40 years, the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County has been a leader in encouraging re-use and recycling practices throughout McHenry County. Each September, the Woodstock-based nonprofit holds its Big Fall Book Sale of good-quality used books, tapes, videos, and software that have been donated by area libraries and private citizens. All items are sold at extremely low prices to keep them in use and out of landfills. All proceeds go to support the environmental programs and services offered by the Defenders.

This year’s book sale offers flea-market prices on thousands of top authors and best-selling novels, biographies, sports, travel and adventure books, self-help titles, cookbooks and crafts, philosophy and religion, business guides, computer manuals, and much more. There is also a huge selection of good-quality children’s books for all ages and reading levels.

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and improvement of the environment. The group provides community residents with educational programs and volunteer action on pollution prevention, sustainable land use and energy and natural resource conservation. Donations are encouraged and are tax-deductible as charitable contributions.  For more information, visit www.mcdef.org or call 815-338-0393.
