The Friends of the Southborough Library’s Heritage Day Sale will feature the usual books and baked goodies, plus a special table with board games and more.
Make sure to bring some cash with you to Heritage Day on Monday. One of the attractions that doesn’t take credit cards is The Friends of the Southborough Library’s biggest annual fundraiser – our* Heritage Day Book and Bake Sale.
As usual, the Friends will offer one free book per child. But this year, there’s an extra reason for families with kids to swing by. We’ll be setting up a Kids table to sell games for kids and families/adults and more.
Most will be gently used and a few never used. (Click on the image right for a sample of some of the items that will be sold.)
As always, there will be a large selection of fiction and non-fiction hardcover and paperback books for adults, children, and young adults. Plus, you can find gently used CDs and DVDs.
The Friends will also offer its stuff a bag sale deal. So, if you purchased a Friends’ tote in the past, be sure to bring it with you.
If you don’t have one, you can buy one there.
The sale will be held in the Library parking lot, right across from the main field. The sale will be open from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm.
Anyone who wants to volunteer to help us out for a shift sometime that day, please email djmtremblay@verizon.net. (Setup begins at 9:00 am.)
Proceeds from the Friends’ fundraisers are used to support Library resources and programs not covered by the regular budget. That includes most of the Library’s discount passes to museums and venues, many children’s programs throughout the year, and programs for adults and young adults.
I want to give an advance shout out here to the Library’s Cook Book Club for volunteering to run the Bake Sale at this year’s event. (Anyone else who would like to contribute goodies can drop them off that morning.)
*Full disclosure: I’m the President of The Friends of the Southborough Library. (Hope to see you at our sale!)
