Applefest, 2010 Book Sale - Saturday September 11
The sale is Saturday, September 11th, from 10 AM- 3 PM, on the sidewalk in front of the library at 34 Main Street. (In the event of bad weather, the sale will be held inside.)
Of course, we are now accepting donations of gently used books and media items at the library. Please no magazines, Baby board books, Reader's Digest condensed books, encyclopedia sets, or books in poor condition.
Please bring them to the library anytime during open hours -- please do not leave the books outside the library or in the book drops. (Feel free to visit our on-going sale shelves every day at the library.)
We also need volunteers to set up and work the Book Sale. To help out, please contact Ellen Church at 393-1742 or ellenchurch1@verizon.net.

Internet Cafe Book Sale Shelf
Visit our expanded Book Sale Shelf, upstairs in the Internet Cafe. We have an excellent selection of fiction and non-fiction, softcover and hardcover. There is also a shelf devoted solely to YA titles. There are no children's books upstairs. All books upstairs are 50 cents each. Please pay downstairs at the circulation desk. We'll continue to stock both the shelf downstairs and the larger location upstairs. Both locations are stocked by the Friends of the Library, which continues to accept donations of books in good condition.
If you don't know where the internet cafe is, go upstairs, turn left and walk as far as the rotunda, then turn left. It's in the old Gale Building, opposite the Mystery Room, where the YA room used to be located, before the renovation.

One of our best Book Sales ever!
We recently held one of our most successful Book Sales in recent
memory. We had many thousands of books, due to the generosity of
Northborough residents and residents of the surrounding communities who
bring us their book donations. Many customers came to this year's sale
and were pleased with their purchases. Of course the sale could not be
held without the support of our wonderful volunteers who spent many
hours preparing for the sale, manning the cash box and cleaning up!
Many thanks to: Joanne, Judy, Tricia, Diane, Sue, Heather, Tricia,
Susan, Lisa, Carol, Sandra, Leah, Carolyn, Stacey, Alice, Katherine,
Eva, Mary, Melanie, Elaine & Wesley, Janice, Elizabeth, Lara, Michael
and Ellen. Thanks also to the tireless Algonquin students who moved
hundreds of book boxes without complaint!
We look forward to our next Book Sale during the Applefest Street Fair in September, 2010!
