The Searsmont Town Library Book & Bake Sale is happening Saturday, July 18, from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m., rain or shine, in the Searsmont Community Center.

"There will be deftly organized oodles of books," said the Library, in a news release.

There will be freshly made baked goods and a Grandma's Attic, organized by the local chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, benefiting the professional and personal growth of Maine women in education.

There will be entertainment and community partners on site as well. The Pinwheel Brothers return to the Book & Bake Sale stage, setting the mood for shoppers; music starting at 9:30 a.m. 

"The Searsmont Fire Department will be out front with one of their trucks and the awesome firemen from our station," said the Library.

There will be freewill donations collected for the Searsmont survivors and families of the Robbins Lumber Mill fire (the Town of Searsmont fund). There will be face painting and the Historical Society will throw open the doors of the Barn for free tours. Local organizations will have tables and reps as well.

Proceeds from the B&B Sale go towards financing library programs such as Tuesday morning Gentle Yoga, Live Outside the Library concert series, Tri-Town Music Program, and more.

The library is still accepting book donations during library hours only. Bakers of fine breads, pies, cakes, and goodies are also welcome to contribute. Donations to Grandma's Attic from the local community are welcome and will be accepted Tuesday, July 14, from 2-5 p.m., and Friday July 17, from 2-5 p.m. Donations may not be dropped off at the Library or Town Office. All donated items must be clean and in good, usable condition.
