Winter is the perfect time to catch up on reading and New Canaan Library’s winter book sale answers the call. It’s also the perfect time to purchase a book for holiday gift-giving. From best sellers to classics and history, and a vast selection of music CDs and DVDs, the Library’s semiannual book sales offer excellent choices. As much as donations are appreciated, the Library requests that donations now be held until early January.

The book sale begins on Friday, December 14 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. with early bird 9 – 11 a.m. admission for a fee of $15. Early bird numbers will be handed out beginning at 8 a.m. Friday morning. The sale continues on Saturday, December 15 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and on Sunday, December 16 from 12 – 4 p.m. (1/2 price). On Monday, December 17 from 1 – 6 p.m. the Library will offer its traditional $5 bag of books.
