The Friends of the Dartmouth Libraries will sponsor their Fall Book Sale at the Southworth Library from Wednesday, October 21, to Saturday, October 24. Thousands of books, all in good condition, will be available for purchase.
A preview for members of the Friends will take place on Wednesday, October 21, from 4-7 p.m. Because of the popularity of the members’ preview, advance registration is required. Members can sign up for a 45-minute time slot beginning at 4 p.m., 5 p.m., and 6 p.m. by calling the Library at (508) 999-0726. Only 20 openings are available for each time slot, so members are encouraged to call early. Scanners will not be allowed during the preview.
The general sale hours are:
To ensure the comfort and safety of shoppers and volunteers, browsing is limited to 20 patrons at a time throughout the sale. Only cash and checks are accepted.
Memberships can be renewed or purchased at the door throughout the sale. All members will receive a coupon for one free regularly priced book.
Proceeds from the book sales allow the Friends of the Dartmouth Libraries to offer free educational programs for adults and children; provide cost-saving passes for museums, parks, and zoos; host the annual Molly Little Film Series; and fund special library events and purchases. Other funding sources are the annual membership drive and the continuing book sale in both libraries.
