Phoebe’s BookCellar Hosts Fill-A-Bag Book Sale at Old Lyme Library, March 12-14

OLD LYME, CT – Phoebe’s BookCellar will be bringing its bargain basement pricing upstairs for the Fill-A-Bag Book Sale at the Old Lyme Phoebe Griffin Noyes Library. 

From Thursday, March 12, through Saturday, March 14, visitors are invited to purchase a $5 bag, donated by the Big Y supermarket, and fill it with as many books, CDs and DVD as it can hold. 

Phoebe’s BookCellar Co-Chairwoman Claudia Condon said the sale is an opportunity to reduce its inventory to make room for new donations. 

“But customers are always thrilled because it’s such a great bargain in the middle of winter,” she said. 

The sale will be held in the Community Room on Thursday from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. 

The BookCellar will be open at the same time with books not included in the bag sale. 

Every dollar earned at the BookCellar directly supports the library.

The BookCellar, on the library’s lower level, is managed by the volunteer Friends of the Library. The inventory includes thousands of fiction and nonfiction books as well as DVDs, CDs and audiobooks. 

The BookCellar accepts gently used books, but respectfully requests no damaged, mildewed, moldy or musty books.
