DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Friends of the New Gloucester Public Library invite the community to their annual Fall Book and Bake Sale at the New Gloucester Public Library, 379 Intervale Road, Sunday, Oct. 4, from noon to 3 p.m. 

A members-only preview sale will take place from 11 a.m. to noon. Community members who are not yet part of the Friends are encouraged to join at the event to enjoy early access while supporting the library.

The Friends Book and Bake Sale is a cherished New Gloucester tradition, dating back to the 1960s when discarded library books were first sold to raise funds. Today, the event continues to bring neighbors together to browse a wide selection of gently used books — perfect for stocking up on fall and winter reading, while enjoying homemade cookies, bars, and other baked treats.

Proceeds from the sale help the Friends support library programs, activities and other initiatives that benefit the New Gloucester community. — Annemarie, New Gloucester

ANSWER: Looks like I’m going to need more bookshelves!

The church invites the community to come out, shop and support this meaningful tradition. Every donation helps make our community Thanksgiving Dinner possible. — Sandy, Norway
