FALL BOOK & BAKE SALE: Do you have Saturday, September 27,
marked off in your date book? It’s time
for the Fall Book Sale from 8am-3pm! In
conjunction with the Town-wide Yard Sale we offer a myriad of books, music,
DVDs, and audio books at great discount prices.
This is a great day to see friends from town and collect some items at
an advantageous price as well. Bargain
shoppers and browsers will enjoy a chance to look leisurely through our
numerous sale items and bump into some familiar faces. We’ll be here rain or shine, so follow the
signs to Kimball Library in Atkinson where old-fashioned values are never out
of style. Hint: Early birds get to
choose from some of the best pickings!
