Friends of the Homewood Public Library is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fundraising for special projects in support of the Library and its patrons. The Friends have provided funding for the FORT, Makery equipment, summer reading programs, and more.

The Friends Book Store on the mezzanine offers a variety of donated books, CDs. DVDs, vinyls and more. Purchases can be made any time the Library is open. Please follow us on Facebook to stay up-to-date.

You can help the Friends fulfill their mission by patronizing our book sales, donating your gently used books, or by joining the Friends organization. Annual Membership levels start at $5. Applications are available at the Circulation Desk. If you have questions or would like to learn more, email friends.homewoodlibrary@gmail.com.

DONATION HIATUS

Inventory is high and this summer is a great time to shop the FOHL sales – but please don’t bring donations to HPL.  The Friends need some time to reduce their huge stock of books!  The Friends of Homewood Library are asking for a donation break through June, July, and August.  If you have books to donate, please consider donating to these nearby libraries (and Good Will) this summer:
  • Chicago Heights Public Library
  • Flossmoor Library
  • Park Forest Public Library
  • Glenwood-Lynwood Public Library – children’s books only
