Especially for the holidays, the stores are also filled with winter and Christmas-themed tree ornaments, serving dishes, children’s toys, clothing and baby gifts.
And if you loved the Friends of the Library Fall or Spring Book Sale, you’ll love the vast collection of pre-read, like-new books and best-sellers priced at a fraction of their original cost.

The site www.betweenfriendsgiftshops.org will take shoppers to a consumer-friendly, secure website.
The gift shops return about $80,000 in cash and gift donations annually to the Springfield-Greene County Library District for programs and services for everyone.
