Come anytime the library is open during this week and wander the halls of the library to check out the Friends of the DeKalb Public Library's popular booksale! Find great titles for you or gifts for family and friends. All proceeds go to funding library programs, materials and equipment. Volunteers and donations are being accepted. Please contact Jill Cutts at friends@dkpl.org for donation guidelines and volunteer information. And remember most items sell for $1.00 or less!

We also assist the library staff with ongoing collection development and special projects. Friends serve as a link between the library staff and the public.
