LENOX, Mass. — The Lenox Library Association's two-day annual book sale will be held on Saturday, Oct. 7 and Sunday, Oct. 8 at the Lenox Town Hall from 9am to 5pm. 

 

The event is free from noon to 5pm on Saturday and all day on Sunday. The public is welcome to preview the collection on Saturday from 9am to noon for a $10 donation: preview admission numbers will be given out starting at 8am.

 

The 28th annual book sale is one of the Lenox Library Association's primary fundraisers. Staffed and organized by volunteers throughout the year, all proceeds from the book sale benefit the Lenox Library Association's support for the library's programs, services and collections.

 

The sale will offer more than 8,000 books in 25 categories, all donated from area homes and most in like-new condition. A Special Interest section features collectors' items, including limited editions, signed and first editions, and books from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

 

This year, a raffle featuring two high-value prizes donated by local businesses will include: A restaurant basket filled with gift cards to local Lenox restaurants and a spa day pass at Miraval Berkshires. 

 

Raffle tickets are $10 each, three for $25, and five for $40 and will be sold at the Lenox Chamber of Commerce, at the book sale, or by contacting Maria at mlynch@lenoxlib.org or calling 413.637.2630 x115.  The drawing is on Sunday, October 8, at 4 p.m. in the Lenox Town Hall auditorium.

 

Sturdy, recyclable book bags featuring the Lenox Library Association and Lenox Library logos will also be available for purchase. Customers who spend $50 or more will receive a complimentary bag.

 

This year's event is generously sponsored by the Lenox office of Apella Wealth.
