Killingworth Library’s Winter Book Sale -- Saturday, February 7, 9am – 3pm

About this post

Need a book on how to speak Mongolian? We've got one! That and many other wonderful books will be for sale at the Killingworth Library's Winter Book sale, Saturday, Feb. 7th. In fact, we have so many books that we are holding the sale at the Killingworth Elementary School, ¼ mile north of the library on Route 81. Sale hours will be 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.

For this sale we have a sizable number of antiquarian and older items including a rare 1885 copy of "Flatlands" by "A Square" and a pamphlet entitled "The Economic Consequences of Mr. Churchill" (as in Winston Churchill) by a guy named John Maynard Keynes (as in Keynesian Economics). The front cover is missing but it's still a fascinating piece of history.

We also have some interesting mid-twentieth century first editions by authors like John Updike, John Steinbeck and Irving Stone in their original dust jackets.

We have an unusually large number of Large Print books, mostly culled from the library's collection, and many more books for children and young adults than usual.

All told we have over 7,500 pieces of fiction, non-fiction, children's books, puzzles, CDs, DVDs, and books on CD. The non-fiction books are partially sorted in categories like History, Photography and Art, Cookbooks, Gardening, New England, and Home Decorating and Home Repair. The fiction books have also been partially sorted by author for our most popular authors.

See you at the book sale!
