Here’s an event I always look forward to. From the Friends of the Southborough Library:
The Friends of the Southborough Library will hold their annual book sale at the Library on Saturday, June 12, from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm. An excellent selection of fiction and non-fiction books for adults and children, including biography, travel, gardening, cookbooks, health and hobby items in hardcover and paperback will be on sale. The Southborough Library is located at 25 Main Street, Southborough. No early-bird admission.
There will be a Friends member preview on Friday, June 11, from 1 to 4 pm for current members. Membership forms will be available and membership is a bargain at a $5.00 annual fee. Volunteers are needed for set up and throughout the sale. For more information, or to offer to help, please contact the library at (508) 485-5031. All proceeds from the sale benefit the Southborough Public Library. Plan to join us for the book sale on Saturday, June 12!

I don’t have the full answer to that question, but here’s what I found on the library’s website:
