What’s summer vacation without a good book to read?
Before you head off to your next destination, stop by the Westborough Public Library’s Mini Book Sale this weekend for a great deal. Whether you’re looking for a good beach read, a self-help book, or a few new children’s books, the Mini Book Sale will likely have something for you.
The library has a surplus of community-donated books that must be sold to create room for the main book sale, held in November of every year. This is the time to find good books at a bargain price. Hardbacks will be sold for one dollar, mass market paperbacks for 50 cents, and children’s books will sell 4 for one dollar. To view some of the frequently added inventory, stop by the Library Meeting Room.
