BOOK SALES : Our Annual Winter Book Sale was a great success despite the Arctic temperatures! Thank You to all who came out to show your support for the Library; we can’t do it without you. A big Thank You also goes to the Volunteers who made the sale possible; we truly can’t do it without them! 

Now comes the work to prepare for our Annual Books, Bags & Bling Summer Sale! We’ll see you there.

Semi-Annual Book Sales : February & August

The Fred & Harriett Taylor Memorial Library holds a week long book sale in mid- February & the third week in August, ending on the same weekend as the Hammondsport Village Craft Festival. Both sales are downstairs at the library. Use the lower entrance at the end of the building for direct access to the sale. Hours will be the same as the open library hours, unless otherwise posted.

Typically, all hardcover books are $2 and softcover books are $1. We have DVDs, music CDs and puzzles. The Big Summer Sale includes gently used hand bags, costume jewelry and more. We also have an estate collection of over 100 classic titles, all individually priced. We sometimes have fun “pop-up” items for sale like teddy bear collections & movie poster collections which were donated by patrons.

Saturdays All Year

The Book Sale Rooms are open to the public every Saturday from 10 am – 2 pm, downstairs at the library. Enter through the door at the end of the building.

Book Sales will be announced on this page, on Facebook (follow us!), on booksalefinder.com, in the local newspapers, as well as with posters throughout the Village of Hammondsport. 

 

BOOK DONATIONS : 

Donations of books, audio books, paperbacks, DVDs, music CDs and puzzles will be gladly accepted during open library hours. We greatly appreciate these donations as our book sales are our biggest fundraising events of the year. 

Please do not donate encyclopedias, magazines or Reader’s Digest Condensed Books, as these do not usually sell. We ask that you do not bring books that are dirty, falling apart or musty. Receipts for donated materials are available upon request.
