A great opportunity to support New Castle Public Library while enjoying Separation Day!

With books spilling right out onto the sidewalk, the Separation Day Book Sale offers a chance to 'browse on the bricks' in Historic New Castle, right in the midst of the Separation Day Festival! 🎆

Stop by before, during, or after the Parade to fill out your TBR pile for the Summer with gently-used books from a variety of genres... There are thousands of titles to choose from and most books are just a buck or two! 😎

Saturday, June 13 📖 9am to 2pm
📍 New Castle Public Library

Every kid who stops by gets a FREE book... Cash and Credit/Debit accepted... Bag Sales after 12pm (except with NCLF Totes)... And all proceeds support our work on behalf of the library!
