New Milford—prepare for the literary event of the decade! The Friends of the New Milford Public Library are pulling off one final, epic book sale July 11–13 at New Milford High School… and then? Radio silence for two years.
That’s right—because of major library construction, this is the LAST Summer Book Sale until at least 2027. No 2025 sale. No 2026 sale. Just an empty calendar and quiet shelves.
But you’ve still got one shot. And it’s packed with opportunity:
- Thursday, July 11: Sneak in early (9–10 a.m.) for $5 Early Bird access—or stroll in free from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Friday, July 12: Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.—perfect for after-work browsing
- Saturday, July 13: HALF-PRICE MADNESS! Everything goes for half off from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
We’re talking thousands of gently used books—bestsellers, kids’ favorites, cookbooks, thrillers, classics, how-tos—all priced to fly off the tables.
And the Friends aren’t exaggerating: their website says it plainly—
“Due to the library construction, this will be our LAST book sale for at least 2 years! Think ahead and STOCK up!!”
So don’t just show up—come ready to fill boxes. This isn’t just a sale. It’s your final mission before the great book blackout.
Claim your treasures before they’re gone:
