Socially-distant tables will be set up with soft covers going for 25 cents and hardcover books for 50 cents apiece. Shoppers are asked to bring face masks, small bills/change and a sturdy bag. All proceeds will benefit improvements at the Hazlet Library.

"It is a great event for our town, especially this year, because it is flexible which allows everyone to participate at the level they feel comfortable," continued Glackin. "We urge everyone participating, either as buyers or sellers, to follow CDC guidelines on how to protect yourself and others while in public."
