Annual Book Sale

May 18, 2019 Sale

Each year Rensselaerville Library holds a Used Book Sale in May to coordinate with the Rensselaerville Annual Garage Sale Day. Hundreds of gently used books, both hard covers and paperbacks, fiction and non-fiction, will be for sale.

All proceeds go to benefit the Rensselaerville Library.

Featuring a wide variety of books, movies, and music, the Used Book Sale is a great place to pick up that novel that you've always wanted to read or to browse for that book that you never knew that you wanted.

Interested in volunteering?
Volunteers sort thousands of books by category for easy browsing. Volunteering offers advanced preview and purchase of items for sale. Just show up Tuesday through Friday between 4pm and 8pm. Please speak with Kim if you are interested in volunteering the day of the sale.

Tuesday - Friday, May 14-17, from 4pm - 8pm: Volunteers will sort and price items. Donations accepted during these hours. Please NO text books or encyclopedias.
