Jesup Memorial Library's 55th Annual Booksale

Description

The Jesup Memorial Library will host its 55th Annual Booksale on Saturday, August 16th from 10am to 4pm. The Booksale is a long-standing community event which provides significant support for the library. This is the last year the sale will be hosted by our gracious neighbors, the Bar Harbor Congregational Church — just across from our location at 34 Mt. Desert Street, Bar Harbor. Featured this year: – Even more cookbooks! We have had several large collections of beautiful books donated this year, including titles both new and classic. – An extraordinary collection of handcraft books from the woman who used to knit those magnificent, prized shawls for the Jesup’s annual auction, Beth Kidder. This includes many historical works and titles from other countries. – A fabulous collection of fashion books. A few of these with outstanding photographs will be in the Specials section. – An expanded category of “nice old books” which may have some possible resale value, but are mostly just interesting old volumes. The Bar Harbor Congregational Church UCC Connections group will host a Bake Sale to further support the library. In the event of rain, the bake sale will be held inside the church building. Contact: Cas Dowden at (207) 812-6240 or casruell@gmail.com if you would like to contribute something to the bake sale. More information about the Jesup Library may be found at www.jesuplibrary.org.
