Friends of the Decatur Public Library Updates

BIG CHANGES!!! The Friends of the Library are moving!

Unfortunately, that means our book sales will be on hold for a while, as construction happens.


We thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this process.

The Friends of the Decatur Public Library​ will continue to take donations of books, CDs, and DVDs to help support our programming and literacy throughout our community, during the construction and move. You may drop off donations at the library during business hours. If you require assistance unloading, please call 217-421-9712 to schedule a time to drop off.
