The Friends of the Rolling Meadows Library are a group of library-loving local residents who enjoy helping the library prosper and grow. They hold three used book sales throughout the year and run the Friends' Book Shop which is located on the main floor of the library. Through these sales and other fund-raising activities, they provide support for the library. If you are a community-minded individual and can donate a few hours now and then, consider joining the Friends!
If you wish to join, please leave us your name and phone number by either stopping by the library's welcome desk or calling the library at 847-259-6050.
The Friends' Book Shop is OPEN!
If you'd like to support the Friends, please consider mailing a donation in care of:

3110 Martin Lane
Rolling Meadows, IL 60008
Meetings
The Friends meetings are in the Community Room and generally on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m.
Donations
The Friends of the Rolling Meadows Library ask for your help to make their book sales successful. Show your community spirit by donating books, CD's, videos, DVD's, tapes, records, sheet music, and maps in good condition that you no longer want. We take all kinds of material in good condition including children's books, adult fiction, nonfiction, even old records. Drop off your donation at the Welcome Desk in the lobby. Feel free to ask for a receipt for tax purposes.
We accept book donations throughout the year, with the exception of two weeks prior to each book sale.
