The date of the Wilmington Memorial Library’s 11th annual 2026 Town-Wide Yard Sale is upon us – this Saturday, June 13th from 8am to 2pm! Shop till you drop at locations all over town! And don’t forget to stop by the Book Store Next Door, which will be open regular hours the day of the sale (10am to 4pm) with books and other items for sale on the front lawn of the store (weather permitting).

The Friends of the Wilmington Memorial Library are proud to sponsor this popular event. We are also pleased to announce that the all-important sale map has been sponsored by the Stoneham Municipal Employees Federal Credit Union (SMEFCU). This map can be picked up at the library, the SMEFCU Wilmington office (200 Jefferson Road), Wilmington Market Basket, and other locations around town. The Friends are grateful to the SMEFCU for their support of this important community tradition!

A wonderful evening listening to Michael Holley. He may be a sports writer but his funny, entertaining stories were not all sports related. There was something for everyone. Pictured - two Friends board members (president Terry and yours truly) handing Michael a squishy baseball printed with the Friend's logo.
