  Friends of the Chili Public Library are now recycling used cell phones and inkjet cartridges as an ongoing fundraiser.  Look for the recycling boxes in the foyer of the library.  The library is also a collection site for used eye glasses for the Lions Club.
 
  Don't forget our "Books to People" program, a delivery service for homebound Chili residents.  Call the library at 889-2200 for more information.


 

  Do you want to get rid of a used car you no longer drive? Do you have an automobile you have no use for? You can make a real contribution to our goals when you donate a used car. When you donate your car to the Friends of the Chili Public Library, your car is picked up at your home or work for free.  How car donation works.  Lend us your support. Make a car donation.
