As spring gradually wafts its way into our presence so do annual events only nuanced with Covid precautions. The Friends of the James Blackstone Memorial Library are part of these activities and are reintroducing abbreviated Spring Book Sales scheduled to run on two weekends. Children’s Books of various formats will be sold on FRI, 5/14-SUN, 5/16. Adult Fiction will sell on FRI, 5/21/21- Sunday, 5/23/21. Times for both are: FRI/SAT--9A-2P; SUN—11A-3P.
The Friends have collected thousands of used books and audio/visual materials during 2020, which have been carefully sorted. This inventory will be available for purchase to the public with its continued support. In order to allow for adequate safe distancing, sales will be held at their warehouse at River Run Business Park, 59 School Ground Rd, Unit 6, Branford, near Chowder Pot and Woodwinds. (Note this is not at the library or town green).
Masks must be worn and social distances kept. A restricted number of shoppers will be admitted into the warehouse at the same time. This protocol will be followed all days of the sales. Realizing these circumstances, it is hoped that you will continue to support us.
