Did You Know?
IT’S BEEN 15 YEARS since the Library put out a bridge table with a few books on it. They sold quickly – and the Book Sale was born. We have expanded from a bridge table to an 80-foot tent plus the Welles Gallery and are getting ready to process the last of the 30,000 donated books.
Giant Book Sale at the Lenox Library
The Lenox Library’s 15th giant annual book sale will be held this year on Friday, August 27 through Sunday, August 29, at 18 Main Street. This year’s “Bargains in Books” event will feature over 30,000 books gathered from Berkshire homes. Book lovers will find thousands of children’s books, specialized cookbooks, books on art, poetry, military history and WWII,
New Age, computers & science, how-to, first editions, sets, lots of old and new fiction at bargain prices, and many other categories including a new genre, graphic novels. Plus CDs, DVDs, sheet music, Rockwell prints, and much more. Prices start at 50 cents.
The grand opening at the Library will be on Friday, August 27, from 11am to 6pm ($5 donation until 2pm, then free). The sale continues on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm when admission is free all day. There will be a large collection of gifts to choose from for anyone spending $15 or more on Saturday or Sunday.
All proceeds from the book sale, which is staffed entirely by volunteers, will benefit the Library’s many educational programs and activities offered to the public year-round free of charge.
