The Newberry Library is about to celebrate their 25th annual book fair July 22-25 with more than 110,000 donated used books for sale in 70 categories, (many of which can be had for under $2), so book lovers need to pencil in this date. The profits from the Book Fair go toward sustaining the Newberry’s mission and allow for continued public access to library. The Fair runs 12pm-8pm on TH-FR and 10-6 on Sat and Sun at 60 W. Walton; 
admission is free.
For questions and information, call 312-255-3510.
