May has arrived and with it, the Great Pawling Library Book Sale, which is scheduled to take place at the Pawling Fire House, located at 25 South Street in Pawling Village, over two weekends. Come browse and buy these great deals (with free admission) on Saturday, May 12th from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Sunday May 13th from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Early Birds may explore all offerings for only $25.00 on Saturday starting at 8:00 a.m. and will have exclusive access until 9:30 a.m. when the doors will open to the general public.) The sale will continue the following weekend on Saturday, May 19th from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sunday, May 20th from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with Bag Sale pricing at $5.00 per bag!
The Sale is one of the largest in the region with over 25,000 books, all superbly organized into more than 40 categories with hardcover books totaling 70% of all available books for sale. Great prices and diverse titles make this an outstanding opportunity for book lovers of all ages. There is a large selection of DVDs and CDs, as well.
As a special treat for book loving children, the Library has arranged for two popular, local children’s authors to attend the sale on opening weekend. Both will be available for book signings. On May 12th, Jennifer Morfea, author of “The Gentle Boa” and “The Little Hyena” will be on hand, and on May 13th, Carol Paterno, author of “Slippery Soap” and “Swan Pond” will be in attendance.
The book sale is a major fundraiser for the library, with all proceeds benefiting library programs and services. For more information call 845-855-3444 or visit www.pawlinglibrary.org.
