“Friends of the Bristol Public Library to Hold Used Book Mini-Sale”
Friends of the Bristol Public Library
Summer Mini-Sale Press Release
The Friends of the Bristol Public Library will hold a used book mini-sale in the lobby of the Bristol Public Library, 5 High Street, Bristol, and Manross Memorial Library, 260 Central Street, Forestville, from June 14 to June 27. Books for readers of all ages will be available, including coffee table books, adult fiction and non-fiction, and young adult and children’s books. Books can be purchased whenever the libraries are open, and new items will be added throughout the sale. This is a cash only sale.
The Friends’ summer mini-sale provides shoppers with the opportunity to stock up on summer reading material, and the proceeds help fund activities and special programs for children, teens, and adults at both Bristol libraries.
Manross Library Open Earlier All Week!
The Forestville Branch of the Bristol Public Library will open at 8:30 AM, Monday–Saturday, instead of 10:00 AM. The earlier open will provide more convenience to working people, parents, and other busy members of the community. The earlier hours come at no additional cost to the community, as staff were already working in the building at 8:30 AM. All Bristol and area residents are welcome to make use of the Manross Branch of the Bristol Public Library. Residents use their Bristol library card at the branch. Library cards from all Connecticut public libraries may also be used.
Adult Summer Reading Starts June 1st!
