The book sale hosted by the Friends of the Northtown Library was very successful, raising more than $1,000 to fund library activities.

Peter Sifnotis, the group’s president, tells me that Library Manager Catherine Wilson and Pamela Stauffer, Chairman of the West Rogers Park Community Organization (WRPCO), supplied both the spirit and the hard work required to support the Friends’ first fundraising project.

The Friends will host a spring book sale as well as other activities throughout 2016. No 2016 meetings have yet been scheduled.
