The “Friends of the Kinderhook Memorial Library” are partnering with St. Paul’s Church for a Fall Book Sale.

I usually read books in digital form on a tablet, however, every now and then I’ll pick up an old-fashioned tree-paper edition. I have to admit, there is something satisfying about holding a hard-copy book, which is why I’ll be stopping by the Kinderhook Library Book Sale.

Bargain hunters can return on Sunday for the popular “shop by donation” sale from 1pm to 3pm. The Read & Relax cafe will open at 8:30am on Saturday, and will offer home baked specialties throughout the day.

DATE/TIME:
Saturday, September 15, 2018: 9am – 3pm
