    Spring Book Sale

    Featured

    Like the daffodils and tulips, the first Friends of the Rockport Public Library Book Sale of the year is a beloved harbinger of spring. This year’s event will be held in the Rockport Library’s lower level on Friday and Saturday, Mar. 27 and 28, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. As always, tables will be filled with extraordinary deals on thousands of books, CDs, DVDs, puzzles, and audiobooks. Planning to buy a lot? Join the Friends of the Rockport Public Library for $20 and receive a purple tote to fill up with books at no additional charge. Refill the tote at book sales in June and September for only $10. If you already bought your tote in December, don’t forget to bring it back for your $10 refill. The Friends will have an especially large selection of puzzles, DVDs, and audiobooks at this sale, thanks to generous donations. Spring is also a great time to stock up on gardening books and crafting books (graduation and wedding season is just around the corner — time to make something special).  All proceeds from the sale will benefit the Rockport Public Library. Only cash and checks are able to be accepted. Those interested...
