The clock is ticking for book lovers in New Milford. According to the official announcement on the Friends of the New Milford Public Library website, the 2024 Annual Summer Book Sale—scheduled for July 11–13 at New Milford High School—will be the last sale for at least two years, due to the library’s upcoming construction.
This isn’t speculation—it’s confirmed: no book sales will occur in 2025 or 2026, making this summer your only chance to browse and buy before a long hiatus.
Official 2024 Sale Schedule (per friendsnmpl.org):
- Thursday, July 11: Early Bird Hour (9–10 a.m.) – $5 admission | Free entry from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Friday, July 12: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Saturday, July 13: Final Day – 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with all books at half price!
Thousands of gently used books across every genre will be available, offering exceptional value for families, teachers, collectors, and casual readers alike.
And the Friends’ message couldn’t be clearer:
“Due to the library construction, this will be our LAST book sale for at least 2 years! Think ahead and STOCK up!!”
Whether you’re planning summer reading, building a classroom library, or just love supporting local literacy, don’t wait—this is your final opportunity until 2027.
