Keeping Books Out of Landfills

For several years, the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County have raised funds and kept good books out of the landfill through their Green Spot Used Books and more store, located in the Woodstock Square Mall building at 110 S. Johnson Street, Suite 104.  Hours are: Tuesday – Friday 11:00am – 4:00pm and Saturday 11:00am – 3:00pm. Closed Sundays and Mondays.
Now that Spring is finally here, the Green Spot is celebrating with a "Spring Cleaning Sale"!  For every $5 spent on their selection of gently used books, gifts, and green items, choose a FREE book from their sale rack!  Be sure to check out the featured display of gardening and landscaping books, which will be Buy One, Get One FREE in April and May. 
Donations of gently used books can be dropped off while the Green Spot is open, or any time in the book drop-box in front of the mall building.
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.
