BOOK SALE<br />
Earthquakes, tornados and floods – Northern Illinois had more than its share of extreme<br />
occurrences this summer, The <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Prospect</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Library</strong> didn’t escape unscathed. With<br />
over 10 inches of rain in the early hours of July 23 rd , storm water washed over the bank on Route<br />
83 and into the parking garage and eventually into the <strong>Library</strong>. The Friends room wound up with<br />
3-4 inches of storm water on the floor. The <strong>Library</strong> was closed for two days while maintenance<br />
staff pumped out the water and disposed of everything that got wet. Tom Garvin and his staff did<br />
a super job of saving undamaged materials and cleaning everything. After ten days of fans and<br />
dehumidifiers the Friends walked into a sparkling clean room and were back in business. The<br />
publicity the <strong>Library</strong> received – we even made the Chicago TV news -- alerted the public to our<br />
losses. With in a few weeks we received so many really nice donations that we were able to<br />
replace what was lost and then some.
The July <strong>sale</strong> raised $10,044. Approximately two-thirds of those materials were sitting<br />
on the floor in boxes the week before the flood. Luckily it did not rain a week earlier. Thanks to<br />
everyone that put in many volunteer hours cashiering, sorting and schlepping boxes to bring it all<br />
together.<br />
EVENTS<br />
The Friends were <strong>schedule</strong>d to have a table at the 12 th Annual Midsummer Downtown<br />
Block Party on Saturday July 23 rd . Unfortunately, most of the materials we had earmarked for<br />
this event were lost in the flood. With many of our volunteers dealing with their own flood<br />
problems we decided to take a pass on the event. The <strong>Library</strong> still had a presence with several<br />
staff members manning the <strong>Library</strong>’s table. Sorry if you missed us. We hope to participate again<br />
next year.<br />
EVENING BOOK DISCUSSION<br />
The Friends Evening Book Discussion Group finished off the year with three terrific <strong>book</strong>s.<br />
In October they usually like to read a spooky story. This year it will be Audrey Niffenegger’s Her<br />
Fearful Symmetry. In November, another Wisconsin <strong>book</strong> was chosen: A Reliable Wife by<br />
Robert Goolrick. Then some comic relief with the heart warming story of Dewey the Small Town<br />
<strong>Library</strong> Cat by Vickie Myron. The Friends Evening Book Discussion Group meets the third<br />
Wednesday of every month at 7:30 pm in Meeting Room B. New friends are always welcome.<br />
HELP WANTED<br />
As always, we could use your help. We need volunteers to set up Thursday evening<br />
before the <strong>sale</strong> and take down Sunday afternoon after the <strong>sale</strong>. Thursday and Sunday involve<br />
moving boxes of <strong>book</strong>s which seem to get a little heaver each year. If there are any younger<br />
folks that need volunteer hours for school requirements we can offer a few hours on each day.<br />
We could also use a few cashiers. So, if you have a few hours to spare and would like to help a<br />
good cause, please give Peter Hicks a call at 847-439-7916 (PDJHicks@Yahoo.com)<br />
We really appreciate all the help and time our dedicated volunteers contributed toward this<br />
successful venture. So let’s have a great <strong>sale</strong> and make 2011 another great year.<br />
