Whiting Library’s Annual Book Sale will take place on the library lawn at 117 Main St.  from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept.18 and Sunday, Sept. 19 or until all the books are sold.

The Book Sale will take place in collaboration with the Chester Festival on the Green, making this event an incredible time to come to Main Street to experience heaps of Chester fun.

The Book Sale is comprised of donated materials and books withdrawn from the library collection. For sale will be adult fiction to non-fiction, biographies to gardening, art books to histories, picture books to activity books. Everyone will find something to read and entertain.
