The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County will hold its annual Holiday Kick-Off Book Sale at the Woodstock Square Mall building lobby, 110 S. Johnson St., on the Woodstock Square. The sale continues through Thursday, Dec. 11. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays; 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays; and closed Sundays.
Books are $1 for hardcovers; 50 cents for mass market paperbacks; and 25 cents for children's books. Tuesday through Thursday, Dec. 9-11, all books will be $5 per paper grocery bag.
