Breaking news for bibliophiles in New Milford: the Friends of the New Milford Public Library have confirmed their Annual Summer Book Sale—set for July 11–13 at New Milford High School—will be the last book sale for at least two years. This pause is directly tied to the upcoming library construction project, meaning devoted readers must act now to avoid a long dry spell without this beloved community event.
Event Schedule:
- Thursday, July 11: Early Bird Hour (9–10 a.m.) – $5 admission
→ Free entry from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. - Friday, July 12: Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Saturday, July 13: Final day – ALL BOOKS HALF PRICE! (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.)
Organizers are urging the public with a clear message: “Think ahead and STOCK up!!” With thousands of gently used books across fiction, nonfiction, children’s literature, cookbooks, and more, this sale is your only opportunity to build a home library or secure gifts before the extended hiatus.
Don’t let this literary lifeline slip away—mark your calendar and shop early:
