Residents are invited to join the Friends of the Milton Library on Saturday, Sept. 12 for the grand opening of the Historic Barn.

The day-long celebration will be held from from 10 a.m to 4 p.m at 855 Mayfield Road. The event will also include thousands of gently used books for sale, with all proceeds benefiting the new Milton Library, library tours and old fashioned ice cream treats.

The barn is a larger replica of the Dinsmore Barn, which once occupied the corner of Charlotte and Mayfield roads.

Much of the structure was built from reclaimed wood carefully salvaged by The Friends of the Milton Library for the purpose of building a bookstore, meeting and social space for the organization.

The Friends of the Milton Library is a nonprofit organization established to support the programs of the new Milton library, which opened earlier this year in Crabapple.

Proceeds from the sales of donated books, special events and financial donations are used to purchase new books and other materials for the library and to support various community efforts aimed at enhancing library services.
