Before you settle in for an afternoon of parades, picnics, and fireworks, make a stop at one of Ashland's favorite Independence Day traditions—the Friends of the Ashland Branch Library's Annual Fourth of July Big Book Sale on Saturday, July 4, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in the Ashland Branch Library's multi-purpose room.

Whether you're searching for your next beach read, a beloved childhood classic, audiobooks for the road, movies for family night, or hidden literary treasures, you'll discover thousands of pre-owned books and media for every age and interest. From nearly-new bestsellers to vintage finds, there's something waiting on every shelf.

Looking for the best bargain of the day? Toward the end of the sale, shoppers can fill an entire bag for just $5—the perfect excuse to stock up your home library while supporting a great cause.

Every purchase directly benefits the Ashland Branch Library by helping fund library programs, community events, educational resources, and special initiatives that enrich readers of all ages throughout the year.

While the Ashland Branch Library will otherwise be closed for the Independence Day holiday, the Big Book Sale will be open to welcome shoppers, making it the perfect patriotic stop before enjoying the Town of Ashland's Fourth of July festivities.

Bring your curiosity, your reading list, and maybe an extra tote bag—you'll be glad you did.
