In 1948 the Friends of the Oak Park Public
Library began work to support the Library, building bridges between the
Library and community, and raising funds to sponsor the programs and services
that the Library could not otherwise afford. The Friends are happy to announce
the 41st Annual Book Fair on August 5 and August 6.
