Note of Appreciation:
We are deeply grateful to all who helped make this year’s Book Fair such a success. Thank you to everyone – from all 5 New England states and beyond – who donated fantastic books! Thank you to book lovers near and far who came and bought books during our 9 day sale. And a very special thank you to the adventurous, undaunted people who were at the sale the first day in the torrential rain!
Since 2019, the success of the book fair has helped us to not just meet our budget but to make donations in support of local nonprofits’ efforts to meet the needs of their respective communities. What started out 62 years ago as a “church fundraiser” has become one of the biggest annual homecomings in the area with opportunities for so many connections. We are very grateful to be part of this community.
We will start accepting book donations again on September 7, 2024. Thank you again!
