Thank you!

And that’s a wrap for our Fall Great Old Book Sale!

The biggest THANK YOU goes to our wonderful community of book lovers, book sellers and everyone else in between. October’s Sale brought in $10,014!

All proceeds from the Book Sale goes right back to the library for books, media, our ever popular museum passes, archival materials, library furniture and programming for all ages.

We are grateful to the Friends of the Newburyport Public Library for all of the hard work and dedication that goes into planning and running our biannual book sales.

Mark your calendars for our Spring Book Sale returning March 25-28, 2026!

See you in the Spring!
