Donate to the Book Sale

The annual Chelmsford Friends of the Library Book Sale provides funding for almost all of the programming at the Chelmsford Library.

The majority of the books sold at the sale are books donated to the Library and the Friends. To make sure each book sale offers as many titles as possible, the Friends have scheduled drop-off days throughout the year. The full schedule is available on their website, and the summer dates are listed below:

The drop-off location is the Dutton House (the yellow house next to the main library). On these scheduled drop-off days, volunteers are available to help unload cars and handle large donations.

If you are unable to make one of the scheduled drop-offs, you can use the new Book Sale Donation box, located on the edge of the parking lot between the Library and the Dutton House. Or, if you are emptying a house or an estate and would like to donate a large collection of books, please contact the Friends directly to make special arrangements.

Last Book Sale Drop-Off

The final drop-off day for the Friends of the Library Book Sale will be Wednesday, August 29th. Items can be dropped off between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. at the Yellow house next door to the library.

A tremendous number of items have already been donated for the sale, so it should be bigger than last year. The sale will be held at the Town Offices building, 50 Billerica Road, Chelmsford (map), and the dates for this year's sale are:

• Fri. Sept 14 - 9 a.m.-9 p.m.
• Sat. Sept 15 - 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
• Sun. Sept 16 - 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
