The annual Stephentown Library Book Festival will be held Saturday, July 18 from 9 am to 3 pm. The event will happen rain or shine; most books are inside.
In addition to our usual splendid assortment of books, DVDs, [private]audiobooks, and children’s items (all bargain priced), baked goods, and veggie burgers, hotdogs and hamburgers, this year we are inviting community groups, craftspeople and other vendors to join in the fun. If you, or your community group, would like to have a table at the Festival, at no cost, please contact the library for more details. Local businesses are invited to donate to our gift certificate raffle and to promote their goods/services.
Books are priced at 50 cents for children’s books and paperbacks, $1 for hardbound books, DVDs, and audiobooks. Book Donations are welcome and will be accepted during library hours, prior to the day of the sale.
There will be a “Rhonda’s Reptiles” show at 11 am and music with Rosie all day.
Early birds are welcome at 8 am for an entry fee of $20.

Dazzle Dogs Show – Monday, July 20 at 10 am – Dazzle Dogs is a remarkably unique, talented and “dazzling” group of dogs that includes corgis, retrievers and an Australian shepherd.
