"Like the daffodils and tulips, the first Friends of the Rockport Public Library Book Sale of the year is a beloved harbinger of spring," said RPL, in a news release.

This year’s event will be held in the Rockport Library’s lower level on Friday and Saturday, March 27 and 28, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

"As always, tables will be filled with extraordinary deals on thousands of books, CDs, DVDs, puzzles, and audiobooks," said the Library, "Planning to buy a lot? Join the Friends of the Rockport Public Library for $20 and receive a purple tote to fill up with books at no additional charge. Refill the tote at book sales in June and September for only $10. If you already bought your tote in December, don’t forget to bring it back for your $10 refill."

The Friends will have an especially large selection of puzzles, DVDs, and audiobooks at this sale, thanks to generous donations.

"Spring is also a great time to stock up on gardening books and crafting books (graduation and wedding season is just around the corner — time to make something special)," said the Library.

All proceeds from the sale will benefit the Rockport Public Library. Only cash and checks are able to be accepted.

Those interested in volunteering at the sale can call the library at 207-236-3642 or email frpl22booksale@gmail.com.
