Wilton Library to hold its first Saturday book sale in over a year


WILTON – The Wilton Free Public Library will be holding a book sale by appointment from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 12 at the former Bass Factory building on Weld Street.

It will be the first sale in over a year due to COVID-19 restrictions.

“We strongly encourage you to call the library and make an appointment,” principal Jennifer Scott said in a telephone interview on Tuesday, June 8. “Only 15 people can be inside at a time. Half hour tours will be allocated.

If people show up without an appointment, they can browse the sale if there are fewer than 15 people at that time, she said.

The entrance through the LEAP sign must be used to get to the sale, which is still located at the far right at the junction of the two parts of the building. This location is the one originally used for sale and not the one closest to the Wilton municipal office which was recently used.

“The volunteers worked tirelessly to redevelop the space,” Scott said. “We went from two rooms to one room. “

The sale will be made by donation. There is a large selection of hardcover and paperback books for children, young adults, adults and intermediates, as well as puzzles and other items, she said.

Fundraising provides 26% of the library’s total budget, Scott said. Selling books was not possible last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, she noted.

“We are not accepting book donations at this time,” Scott said. “The space is full. This could change in the future. “

Those who wish to donate books must keep them until they can be accepted, she noted.

To make an appointment for the sale, call the library at 645-4831. Hours Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
