Imagine this: a treasure trove of thousands of books—mysteries, memoirs, cookbooks, kids’ classics, sci-fi sagas—all waiting for new homes. But here’s the catch: after Saturday, July 13, 2024, this treasure vault slams shut for at least two years.
That’s the reality from the Friends of the New Milford Public Library, who have confirmed that their 2024 Summer Book Sale—held July 11–13 at New Milford High School—is their final event before library construction begins.
And they’re not holding back:
“Due to the library construction, this will be our LAST book sale for at least 2 years! Think ahead and STOCK up!!”
Why This Sale Is a Once-in-a-While Opportunity:
- Thursday, July 11:
- 9–10 a.m.: Early Bird Hour – $5 for first access to the freshest picks
- 10 a.m.–7 p.m.: FREE entry for everyone
- Friday, July 12:
- 10 a.m.–6 p.m.: Full browsing, no rush
- Saturday, July 13:
- 10 a.m.–2 p.m.: EVERY BOOK HALF PRICE! The ultimate clearance event
This isn’t just about cheap reads—it’s about securing stories, knowledge, and joy for the next two years when no other sale will happen. Teachers, parents, collectors, and casual readers: this is your moment to build a personal archive before the literary drought hits.
Bring bins. Bring boxes. Bring your book-loving squad.
Because after July 13?
Silence.
Don’t miss your only chance until 2027:
