Environmental Defenders Holiday Book Sale Begins Friday

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County are holding their annual Holiday Kick-Off Book Sale at the Woodstock Square Mall building lobby, 110 S. Johnson Street, on the Woodstock Square. The sale begins on Friday, November 28th from 11am-7pm, in conjunction with the Lighting of the Square, and continues through Thursday, December 11th. Hours are 11am until 4 pm (3pm on Saturday, closed Sunday).
Books are priced at $1 for hardcovers, 50¢ for mass market paperbacks and 25¢ for children’s books. Tuesday through Thursday, December 9-11, all books will be $5 per paper grocery bag!
Books have been donated by the public as well as several libraries. There is an amazing variety of books – everything from kids’ books to popular fiction, science to biography, and everything in between!
Donations of re-sellable books are accepted year round at the Defenders’ Green Spot Used Book store, also located in the Woodstock Square Mall building on the main floor.
Proceeds from the sale benefit the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, 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.
