The Friends of Kent Library hold its  Spring Book sale this weekend and I’m sure there are treasures and bargains to be found. There will be thousands of books, collectibles, hardcovers, paperbacks, childrens’ books, videos, DVDs, comics, and more!, according to the library folks. There will be raffles and refreshments for sale, too.

•11 am to 3 pm on Sunday.

It’s at the Town Hall in the Kent Town Complex on Route 52. The library’s official address is 17 Sybil’s Crossing within the town complex.

Friends members are welcome to come early on Saturday (8:30 to 9:00) to get first pick. Others can join in ($10) onsite to enjoy this benefit.

All year long the library has a sale room, The Book Nook,  at the back of the library for bargains on used books. Regular hours:  10 am to 7 pm  Wednesdays and 10 am to 2:30 pm Saturdays.

At the library’s circulation desk, spiffy tote bags are for sale for $10 each as well. Proceeds benefit the Friends group which help library programs.

About the author
Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
