Environmental Defenders host book sale in Woodstock

Submitted by Environmental Defenders

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County continues its annual Cabin Fever Used Book Sale through Saturday, Feb. 4, at the Woodstock Square Mall, 110 S. Johnson St., lower level. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with an 8 a.m. opening on Groundhog Day, Thursday, Feb. 2. Stop in after Woodstock Willie's prognostication.

A bag sale will be held on Saturday.

For more than 40 years, the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County has been a leader in encouraging reuse and recycling practices throughout McHenry County. Each year, the Woodstock-based nonprofit holds several sales of good-quality used books, tapes, videos, and software that have been donated by area libraries and private citizens. All items are sold at low prices to keep them in use and out of landfills. All proceeds go to support the environmental programs and services offered by the defenders.

The winter book sale offers flea-market prices on thousands of top authors and best-selling novels, biographies, sports, travel and adventure books, self-help titles, cookbooks and crafts, philosophy and religion, business guides, computer manuals, and more.

Book donations can always be made (even after the sale ends) at the drop box in front of the Woodstock Square Mall or at the Defenders' “Green Spot” used book store, located on the first floor of the building, during regular hours. For information, visit mcdef.org or call (815) 338-0393.
