Chichester Town Library News

 

Preschool Story Hour meets tomorrow, October 4th, at 10:45 a.m.  

 

On Friday night, October 5th at 7 p.m. at the Grange, there will be a great program to learn of our flying creatures of the night.  The New Hampshire Audubon is bringing their program entitled “Wings of the Night: Owls and Bats” to Chichester.  Come to learn about these special animals and how they navigate and live.  There will even be a live owl to enhance the presentation.

 

Then, on Saturday morning, October 6th, there are two, wonderful sales going on at the library.  First, is the October Down Cellar Used Book Sale, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.  Although the themes are Halloween and harvest time, there are so many books on almost all areas of interest, that buyers can usually find something(s) they can’t do without.  For example, we have had hundreds of science fiction/fantasy books donated since the last sale.  In addition, we will continue with the half-price sale of collectible and vintage books (unless otherwise noted), since there has been such a lot of interest generated in them.

 

Simultaneously with the used book sale, there will be a sale of vintage and collectible items on the library grounds.  Vendors wishing to participate need to contact the library to reserve a 10’x10’ space, in which they can set up a pop-up tent and table/display.  There is a $5 fee to vendors.  Space is limited and there is no rain date.

 

Monday, October 8th, the library will be closed for Columbus Day.
