25th Annual Summer Book Sale at Moultonborough Library July 2, 3, and 4

MOULTONBOROUGH — The 25th Annual Summer Book Sale will take place at the Public Library, rain or shine, from 9 a.m. — 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, July 2, 3, and 4.

Under two large tents in the Library parking lot, book lovers, buyers, and sellers, collectors, and readers will find all the books they want for summer beach reading, required school reading, Christmas and birthday gifts, long winter evenings, craft projects, and any other purpose for which books can be used, including using the illustrations for craft projects and making keepsake boxes out of the covers and pages glued together.

The count currently stands at 792 boxes of books — all sorted and packed ready for the big weekend. The Library also has hundreds of VHS tapes plus audiobooks, games, and puzzles. Hardcover books, games, and puzzles will be priced at $1 each; paperbacks, children’s books, VHS and cassette tapes will be priced at 50 cents. Everything will be marked down to 25 cents on Monday, the final day of the sale.

In addition, a bake sale will be held by the Women’s Club on Saturday, with coffee and donuts, sandwiches, cold drinks, and baked goodies to take home.

Monday's parade will get underway at 11 a.m.

Volunteers are needed to help move the boxes of books out of the Library basement and into the tents on Friday evening, July 1, starting at 5 p.m. and also to help during the sale and with the cleanup on Monday afternoon, July 4. Anyone who can help is encouraged to call the library at 476-8895.
