Friends Of Booth Library Planning Holiday Book Sale

The Friends of the Cyrenius H. Booth Library invite the public to the annual Holiday Book Sale at the library, to be held this year on Sunday, December 2, from 11 am to 5 pm. The sale will be held on the first floor of the library near the meeting room where the Newtown Youth & Family Services Festival of Trees raffle will be conducted that day. Please note that the sale starts one hour earlier than the library usually opens on Sundays.

 Upscale, gift-quality books, DVDs, and videos will be available for purchase, as well as C.H. Booth book bags, special bookmarks, and a chess set. The books represent a cross section of popular adult categories, from current fiction and nonfiction novels and mysteries to gardening, crafts, and cooking, as well as books for children and young adults at all reading levels. Sarah Booth Cookbooks, journals, address books, puzzles, and many other stocking stuffers will also be available for purchase. In addition, the sale will feature coffee table books and guides to holiday entertaining.

Also available for order at the Holiday Book Sale will be the 1854 maps of Newtown, a popular item at last year’s holiday sale. The 2-by-3-foot reprints on archival quality, acid-free paper in sepia tones show the map surrounded by drawings of local historical homes and buildings of interest.

Additional items will also be available for sale at The Book Nook on the second floor.

Proceeds from the Holiday Book Sale benefit C.H. Booth Library.
