Trade your once-beloved treasures for cash while fundraising for the Fallsington Library at Falls Township’s community yard sale this fall.

Set for Oct. 16 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Falls Township Community Park, the community yard sale is a great opportunity to clear out the closets – or find a treasure trove of new items from the variety of vendors participating.

All funds raised from the sale of table space will be donated to Fallsington Library. Director Charlene Rendeiro said the proceeds will go a long way to supporting the library’s general funding, including its free community programs, which are enjoyed by about 1,500 people each year.

Funds will also be earmarked for the library’s book-buying budget.

In addition to dozens of vendors selling their wares, Falls Soccer Club will man the park’s concession stand, offering BBQ, hot dogs, hot sausage, and drinks for guests to purchase and enjoy while perusing the yard sale. Falls Soccer will donate 10 percent of proceeds from the day’s sales to the library.

About Fallsington Library

The Fallsington Library Company was founded in 1800 and incorporated in 1802. In 1879, the nonprofit organization moved into its Federalist-style building located at 139 Yardley Ave. The second floor served as a community hall, hosting concerts, plays, dances, meetings, and even gym classes for the Pennsbury School.

The Fallsington Library continues to proudly serve Fallsington and surrounding communities. A full-service lending library, Fallsington Library also presents interactive family programming, and provides meeting space for the public in its historic building. The library’s affiliation with the Bucks County Free Library provides patrons full access to the entire BCFL catalog.
