Westport Library To Hold Holiday Book & Gift Sale Nov. 22-24

Westport Library: The Westport Library announces the return of its annual Holiday Book and Gift Sale starting Friday, November 22nd running through Sunday November 24th, 2019. The sale will take place in the Forum on the main level of the newly renovated Library at 20 Jesup Road.

This year’s sale offers something for virtually everyone on your list with quality, gift-worthy, and affordable books on holiday and general subjects, including: children, art, photography, recent fiction (both hardcover and trade paperback), cooking, gardening, sports, history, biography, humor, travel, literature, nature, performing arts, music. A wide selection of CDs, audio books, and DVDs will also be available.

Gift items include bookends, some new, some old and all different, to keep those books standing tall. And from a single donor, four sets (10-12 pieces in each set) of new, still-in-the-box Orrefors stemware, as well as a pair of boxed Baccarat martini glasses (“shaken, not stirred”). A variety of as-new postcards, note cards, puzzles and board games are also available. There are many framed and ready-to-frame art pieces. And from the estate of Westport artist Jak Kovatch, a selection of his works, mostly signed.
