Summer Book Sale

Pequot Library’s Summer Book Sale is one of New England’s biggest and best, attracting readers from all over with an incredible selection of over 100,000 items across 50+ categories. For five days, our Great Lawn, parking lot, auditorium, and historic Reading Room are transformed into a browser’s paradise. Admission is free. Every purchase you make directly supports Pequot Library’s programs, exhibitions, and services, benefiting more than 56,000 adults and children each year. We raise approximately 20% of our annual operating budget from fundraisers such as our book sales. Come for the bargains, stay for the experience—it’s a summer tradition you won’t want to miss! Click here to volunteer. All Book Sale volunteers (along with donors who give $250+ annually) are invited to our Preview Party at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 22. Be the very first to browse the treasures before the crowds. Enjoy light refreshments, mingle with fellow book lovers, and kick off the sale in literary style.
