Book Sale 2020 Flyer
Hello,
This October, the Friends of the Boston Library are aiming to raise funds to allow the library to continue its mission of providing resources and events that educate, enrich, entertain, and enlighten our community.
The challenges presented by the pandemic this year have meant the cancellation of our summer fundraiser and our gala, but we are determined to secure the library’s future and ensure its ability to serve our patrons.
The Boston Free Library’s Annual Book Sale and Basket Raffle will be occurring this year from Monday, October 5th through Saturday, October 24th during the library hours listed below. This year’s event will feature a book sale by appointment with social distancing in effect. Masks are required for the duration of time spent in the building. Books, DVDs, CDs, and more are all priced to sell, with many in like new condition. There will be a bag/box sale towards the end of the sale with details announced on the website and Facebook Page.
There will also be a basket raffle with donations from local businesses and individuals occurring during the same time period. We have many beautiful baskets and gift certificates already, with more arriving daily. Tickets are available for $5.00 per sheet or 5 sheets for $20.00. A wine raffle will also be held with tickets available for $5.00 each. The drawing will be on October 24th, but you do not need to be present to win.
Funds raised during the event go towards the maintenance of the library building and materials as well as allowing the library to provide free programming for all ages in the future.
Please contact the library to book an appointment to browse the book sale by calling 716-941-3516 or emailing the library at . Walk ins will be welcomed based on availability. The event flyer is attached.
