Do you have overflowing bookshelves and wish to help support the activities of the Historical Society? The Historical Society of Cheshire County will hold its ninth annual used book sale on May 8 and 9, 2009. For the ninth year in a row, a local book dealer has made a generous contribution of used books for this fund raising event. The Society is once again encouraging members and friends to donate additional volumes to supplement those already contributed for the sale. The Historical Society of Cheshire welcomes contributions of hardcover nonfiction books to add to the selection available for sale on such topics such as history, antiques, architecture, travel, nature, biography, or similar subjects. Recent hardcover fiction is also popular, but we are not seeking mass market paperbacks, older fiction, textbooks, or damaged items.

Book donations should be delivered to the Society, located at 246 Main Street in Keene, by May 6th during regular Society hours. The Society is open Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m; Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. Please call 352-1895 or email hscc@hsccnh.org if you have questions about the appropriateness of books for this sale or for additional information.
