Bookworm Frolic

We’re known for this huge annual used book sale. If you’re a reader, you can’t miss the Bookworm Frolic!

Book enthusiasts love our annual Bookworm Frolic, a used-book sale held at the end of each summer. Browse and buy from a selection of more than 30,000 used books. Enjoy the outdoor setting under a huge tent, or come indoors to peruse our hand-sorted books for sale. This is our largest annual fundraiser, and it boosts our history and storytelling mission.
