Annual Library Book Sale
One of the most popular community events is the Annual Friends of the Library
Book Sale held every August in conjunction with the Middletown Peach Festival.
Months ahead, the call for books goes out to the community resulting in
donations of thousands of books from adult fiction and non-fiction to a wide
range of books for children of all ages.
The sale not only raises funds for the library, it provides ownership of books to
people who might not otherwise be able to afford them. Books that are not sold
at the end of the two-day event are donated to other non-profit fund-raising
organizations.
The Book Sale could not happen without the help of dedicated volunteers who
sort, organize and set up book displays in the corridors and conference rooms of
the library. If you are interested in volunteering for this event, please send your
information to
