ONLY Early Access Ticket-holders will be admitted to shop the first three hours of the Westport Library Big Spring 2024 Book Sale on Friday, May 17, 2024 from 8:45am to Noon.

A maximum of 125 tickets will be issued.

No need to line up hours in advance — Ticket holders will be admitted to the sale in the order in which their tickets were purchased.

Following your ticket purchase, you will receive an email from admin.book@westportbooksaleventures.org advising you of your place # in line. If you do not receive an email within 48 hours after your ticket purchase, please contact us by sending an email to that email address.

Once you are at the Book Sale, you do not have to leave when Early Access hours are over — stay as long as you like!

High volume purchasers, please note:

— No books or other materials may be left unattended at any time, except in designated areas. Books may not be aggregated in aisles nor may they block any exit. Any books found piled in an aisle or blocking an exit will be promptly re-shelved.

— Shoppers are requested to evaluate items in place — please decide whether to purchase an item at the table or shelf where it is displayed. If you reject an item, please return it to the place it was displayed.

— There will be designated a limited area for high volume purchasers to aggregate and evaluate potential purchases. Due to space limitations, this area will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Users are required to leave their name and cellphone number with their materials in this area. Users are asked to return rejected books to the place they were originally displayed.

— As a convenience for high volume purchasers — as in recent sales, we will be happy to begin to add-up (tally) books you have selected for purchase while you continue shopping. You will be required to leave your name and cellphone number with your selections.

— Please bring your own bags, boxes and rolling carts to carry your selections. We do not anticipate having any boxes available for your use.

Health precautions: — Hand sanitizer will be available at the entrance to the sale, and at various points within the Library — Social distancing is strongly encouraged — At this time, the wearing of face masks inside the Library is optional; we will continue to monitor town regulations and area health conditions, and may adjust these requirements as conditions warrant. We recommend that you bring a face mask with you, just in case. — Please stay home if you have a fever or are feeling unwell.
