FALL BOOK SALE

The Friends of the North Riverside Library are thanking the hundreds of people who helped make their annual fall used book sale a success.

Those who missed the sale can still purchase books and other materials at the Friends of the Library Perpetual Book Sale in the Library.

Organizers are thinking volunteers who helped set up before the sale, during the sale itself and tear down after the sale. They include Mickie Caldbeck, Phil Cihlar, Annie Delano, Elizabeth Dvorak, Marion Gekos, Nick Hoving, Shirley Hoving, Rosemarie Jirasek, Mary Lee, Jean Lindberg, Mary Lou Marchetti and Al Medelis. Also, Carol O'Meara, Barbara O'Neill, Millie Pendola, Jean Schindler, Craig Seidel, Roy Sidlo, Marilyn Grace Slanec, Adrienne Smith, Sharmayne Stach, Kay Subaitis, Louise Tompkins and Nancy Tuma. Library pages Danny Golub, Shawnn Hwang and Joe Silhavey also are commended for their assistance.

Donations for the Perpetual Sale and the Spring Used Book Sale can be dropped off at the Library during regular business hours. Pickup service can be arranged by calling the Library at (708) 447-0869.

The Spring Used Book Sale is tentatively scheduled for mid-April.

CELEBRATE YOUR BABY'S BIRTH

The North Riverside Friends of the Library will celebrate the births of babies born to North Riverside Public Library patrons by donating a board book to the library's collection. Each book contains a book plate marking the special event. The baby's family also will receive a letter informing them of the donation.

Most recently, the board book "Hey, Diddle Diddle" was donated to celebrate the birth of Josiah Gabriel Navarro, son of Leilani and Francisco, and the board Book "Numbers" was donated to celebrate the birth of Edward Makovetskey, son of Pavel and Lyudmila.

Birth information should be directed to Library Director Robert J. Lifka.
