Recycled Reads Book Sale

The Friends sponsor RECYCLED READS, an ever-changing selection of gently-used books, DVDs and CDs available for purchase. RECYCLED READS is located to your left as you enter the library. And they're always looking for gently used hard covers, paperbacks, DVDs and CDs to replenish the RECYCLED READS shelves. You are welcome to bring in your bags and/or boxes of materials to the Information Desk. If you need assistance with your donation, please call Mary Adamowski at 708-428-5202 in advance for help. VHS and cassette tapes are not accepted.

Paperback Racks at the Metra Train Stations

Look for the Friends paperback book racks at the Orland Park Metra train stations. Commuters are welcome to take these books for their train commute. You are also encouraged to use this forum as a paperback exchange if desired.

The proceeds from the sale of these items and from Recycled Reads support adult, teen and youth programming at the library.
