It’s time for our next BIG, BIG BOOK SALE (BBB)! 

Come to the library and browse through hundreds of second-hand books in English that we’ll have for sale.  Whatever your reading style or level is, we’ll have something for you:  children’s books, young adult fiction, crime thrillers, classic novels, non-fiction (gardening, cooking), biographies, autobiographies and many, many more!

The cost is 2€ per book.  If you buy 5 books, you’ll get a 6th book free!  We will be open from 10:00 to 18:00, but we encourage you to come early before our hottest titles go!

And that’s not all.  We’ll also have an assortment of plants and homemade baked goods for sale.  You don’t want to miss out!

This event is open to the public.

We are a registered nonprofit and the BBB is a bi-annual library fundraiser in which we sell books that have been generously donated to us by our community in order to raise money to fund our operations.  It is an important event that allows us to continue to thrive and offer quality books and services. 

If you are interested in donating your gently used books, you may bring them to the front desk of the library before Saturday, March 22nd.  Thank you for your continued support!
