Book sorting starts June 10th, all welcome! 

Want to get involved behind the scenes? Book sorting begins the second Wednesday of June (June 10th) and continues weekly through the fall in preparation for the October sale.

Sorting sessions run from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. and are a fun, low-key way to connect with neighbors while supporting the library. No experience necessary — just a love of books and a willingness to pitch in!

If you’d like to join us, stop by during any Wednesday session or reach out to the Friends for more information.

Donating Books

We gratefully accept donations of gently used books, and there are a couple of easy ways to contribute:

Large Donations: Please bring large donations to the Coops, behind the Hungry Diner, during Wednesday sorting hours (9:30–10:30 a.m.). This helps us manage volume and keep things organized for the sale.

Everyday Donations: Smaller donations are accepted at the Walpole Recycling & Reuse Center during their open hours: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays

*Please ensure all donated items are in good, readable condition. We appreciate your thoughtfulness in helping books find new homes!*

 Annual Book Sale — October 24 & 25, 2026

Mark your calendars! Our Annual Book Sale returns the last full weekend of October-  Saturday, October 24th and Sunday, October 25th.

This beloved community tradition is our biggest fundraiser of the year, featuring thousands of gently used books, all at remarkably low prices. Whether you’re looking for a great novel, a cookbook, a children’s classic, or a hidden gem, there’s something for every reader.

All proceeds directly support the Walpole Public Library and its programs. We hope to see you there!

Details on location, hours, and pricing will be posted as the date approaches.
