Barnstead Library Book Sale
The Oscar Foss Memorial Library on Route 126 in Center Barnstead will be
holding a book sale on Wednesday, April 11th from 1-5 pm, Thursday,
April 12th from 5-8 pm, Friday, April 13th from 2-5 pm, and Saturday,
April 14th from 9 am - noon.
We did not have a book sale in 2011 so there are lots of books and items
to choose from: paperbacks, hardcovers, VHS tapes and DVDs, children’s
books and much, much more.
The sale will be held in the meeting room of the library. This is a
"donation only" sale. Books, etc. are not individually priced, we ask
you to take what you want and make a donation. We have lots of bags and
boxes available. Parking is behind the library and if you have any
questions, please call us at 269-3900.
We respectfully request you do not make any donations of books at this
time. We have an over abundance and really need to clear these out
first. There are lots and lots to move upstairs and to prepare for the
sale. We will start taking your donations again after the sale and will
remind you at a later date as to what we do take.
See you at the sale! Get yourself all set with a great book for those
lazy summer days ahead.
