Hello neighbors!

There is also a silent auction featuring signed historical novels, books by local authors, as well as services from neighborhood businesses. In fact, early birds can go online and enjoy bidding now at:

A great new addition to the Silent Auction is a manuscript critique worth $250 by the famed Sackett Street Writers' Worskhop.

We hope to see you there! Nearest subway station is the G and F trains at the Carroll Street station.

Btw, I just want to make it clear that the books for sale are both adult and kids' titles. And we've got lots of them!

Thanks so much for the great turn-out for a wonderful event last Saturday! The Friends of Carroll Gardens Library has an electronic sign-up now for a newsletter that will go out infrequently to announce future events such as book sales or entertainment like author readings. Sign up here:
