  • Here is a message from Patricia Freeman, librarian at Pillow Elementary:

    Many thanks to those in the neighborhood who so generously donated books to Pillow Library’s used book sale. For those of you who still have books that could be donated, we are accepting books until October 2. The book sale will be Tuesday, October 3 at Pillow Library from 8:00 – 6:00 and Wednesday, October 4 from 8:00 – 4:00. Everyone is invited to come. Children’s books will be sold for 50 cents and adult books will be a dollar.”


  • Pillow Elementary will hold a used book sale in mid October and is accepting book donations for the sale. Any book of interest to any age and in good condition can be donated to this library fundraiser. Donations can be dropped off at the Pillow Elementary Library during school hours.
