It’s time again for one of Arlington’s favorite Town Day Traditions- the Friends of the Robbins Library Town Day Book Sale! The Sale is in the parking lot behind the library as well as downstairs in the library’s Community Room. There will be thousands of books at very affordable prices- come browse and enjoy and purchase books, media (including record albums), tote bags and more to support Arlington libraries!
The Sale this year is on Saturday, September 20 from 10:00 am – 3 pm. Friends’ members may come early at 9:30 am. You may become a Friends’ member that morning if you would like to join the fun early.
Donations of gently used paperback and hardcover books and media for the sale may be left in the large blue bin located in the front lobby of the Robbins Library beginning Saturday, September 6. Also, this year we will again have a Drop-Off Day for donations on Sunday, September 14 from 12-4pm in the back parking lot of the Robbins Library. The library will be closed that afternoon, but you can drive up with your donations and our friendly volunteers will help unload them from your vehicle. Please do not donate any textbooks, encyclopedias, videotapes, or guidebooks more than ten years old, books without covers or damaged books. All other books, books on cd, music cd’s and DVD’s are welcome. Donations of record albums are also appreciated!
Anyone wishing to assist the Friends with the sale should contact Friends Coordinator Amy McElroy (forlcoordinator@gmail.com). We will then send you a link to our SignUp Genius. Volunteers are needed to sort books during the weeks prior to the sale and to set up, organize, and clean up on the day of the sale.
