Hanover residents looking for affordable books, movies, puzzles and board games can mark their calendars for the return of the Hanover Public Library’s annual book sale, running October 1 to 3 at The Carriage House at Hanover Raceway. The event, a major fundraiser for the library, opens with a ticketed preview evening and then offers two full days of free admission with all items sold by cash donation.
The preview evening runs Thursday, October 1 from 5 to 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 per person, kids under 12 are free, and there is a limit of 150 tickets. Tickets can be bought at the library or at the door. The regular sale follows with free admission on Friday, October 2 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday, October 3 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“All purchases by donation of your choice. Cash only,” the library states on its website. The sale features donated books, movies, puzzles, board games and other media, with all money raised going directly to library programs and services.
The library notes the annual book sale is one of its most important fundraising events, helping to support services beyond what municipal and provincial funding covers. It had set September 19 as the last day to accept donated items. It is still seeking volunteers to help move and sort books, with anyone interested asked to call the library.
The sale takes place at The Carriage House, located at 265 5th Street in Hanover, Ontario. The venue is part of the Hanover Raceway fairgrounds.
