    The Friends of the Bristol Public Library will hold a Holiday Mini-Sale throughout the month of December in the lobby of the Bristol Public Library, 5 High Street, and the Manross Memorial Library, 260 Central Street. Items will be available for purchase (cash only) whenever the libraries are open.

     

    The sale features nearly-new, gift-quality books for readers of all ages, a large selection of children’s picture books, movies, music, puzzles, and other holiday-themed items. New items will be added frequently throughout the run of the sale.

     

    This annual event provides shoppers with the opportunity to stock up on reasonably priced holiday gifts and winter reading material, and the proceeds from the sale help the Friends fund reading programs and activities for all ages at both Bristol libraries.
