The newly founded Lincoln Library Alliance has begun serving as Springfield’s Public Library’s advocacy and fundraising group.

The group will sell Lincoln Library merchandise, host fundraisers, and organize book sales to bolster new initiatives, support the library staff and promote literacy in the community.

Membership fees start at $25 per year for community members wishing to support Lincoln Library.

And to kick off their efforts LLA will be hosting a Holiday Book sale during the Saturday DSI Holiday Walk in front of Merrill Lynch at 6th and Monroe from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
