Our annual Books & Blueberries sale:
The second Saturday each August 

We collected more than $8,500 at the 2025 Books & Blueberries fair.
Thank you for shopping with us and supporting the library!

Our annual Books & Blueberries fair is our biggest fundraising event. Each August, the fair brings together residents, board members, and summer visitors for a day of books, food, and fun. 

​

Under our tents, visitors find thousands of used books across hundreds of topics. Our baked-goods table features a variety of locally-made blueberry treats. You can also find blueberry-themed arts and crafts, ranging from aprons to stationery.

 

Our raffle features donations from local organizations and artists. 

​

There's also live music by local musicians, children's games, and a BBQ lunch.

 

Save the date: the next Books & Blueberries event will be on Saturday August 8, 2026, from 9am to 2pm.
