Changes in Friends of Blackstone Book Sale for 2020

The Friends of Branford’s Blackstone Library has voted unanimously to cancel its annual September book sale under the tent on the Branford town green due to the dangers of Covid-19 infection.

The Friends have collected thousands of books and audio/visual materials from last September through March, which have been carefully sorted. This inventory will be available for purchase to the public. In order to allow for adequate safe distancing, a series of smaller sales will be held at a new location: River Run Business Park, 59 School Ground Rd, Unit 6. (in area of Woodwinds and Chowder Pot Restaurant).

Masks must be worn and social distances kept. A restricted number of shoppers will be admitted into the building at the same time. This protocol will be followed all days of the sales which will run on selected weekends, Fri – Sun., 9 AM – 2 PM.

Schedule of sales is as follows:

1. Aug 14– Aug 16, Children’s, Young Adult

2. Aug 21 – Aug 23, Adult Fiction, Mystery, Classics, Science Fiction.

3. Aug 28 – Aug 30, Art, Music, Biography, History

4. Sept 11– 13, Cookbooks, DVDs, CDs, Crafts, Audiobooks
