Sneak Peek Book Event

Friday, June 18, 5-7 p.m.
Saturday, June 19, 1-5 p.m.

Get a “Sneak Peek” inside the new Mahomet Public Library Building, 1702 E. Oak St., and help us fill the new shelves at our “Buy it and Leave it” event on Friday, June 18 from 5-7 p.m., and Saturday, June 19 from 1-5 p.m. Browse a selection of new books and audiovisual materials that are ready to be added to the shelves priced from $5-$25. For example, you can donate a paperback for $5, or a new hardcover fiction or nonfiction book for $20. When you find an item you’d like to purchase as a donation to the library, we’ll add a bookplate with your name or the name of someone you’d like to honor, and the book will be added to the library’s shelves.

You don’t have to purchase an item to get a “Sneak Peek” of the new building-be one of the first to see inside before opening day! For more information, visit the website at www.mahometpubliclibrary.org.
