Book Sales
Book sales occur twice a year, often in the Winter and in the Fall, with a smaller sale in the Summer. Proceeds from the book sales goes towards supporting entertaining and informative programs at the library, like museum passes, summer/winter reading programs, the Adirondack chairs for the lawn, the covered area in the playground, the vegetable garden, and community fridge.
Location
Our book sales take place in the Buchanan Auditorium and the Program Room at the Mansfield Public Library. Depending on the weather, in addition to the auditorium we might have items set-up on tables outside the library for sale.
Parking is available in the lots on either side of the library.
