Library Book Sale


Book Sale Dates

Our book sale will take place in October. Stay tuned for dates!

All sales are by donation to the library.

Ask about volunteering at the sale in the fall. We will be looking for volunteers to help run the book sale, and to help move donations from storage to the sale location.


Donations

We accept donations for our annual book sale from November to early October – cutoff for donations is 2 weeks before the sale.

Gently used books, movies, music, and games can be dropped off at the library during our open hours. We are especially looking for jigsaw puzzles, board games and children’s books!

Some kinds of materials are not suitable for the sale. Please view our donation guidelines to avoid disappointment:

Staff at the Hanover Public Library want to make sure all our volunteers know how valuable their contributions are. The contributions of our loyal volunteers enable us to host our yearly book sale, one of our biggest fundraisers.

We appreciate you!

We would also like to thank:

  • everyone who helps run the sale
  • everyone who comes out to support us!
