Book and Bake Sale

Come shop and support the Minot-Sleeper Library at the annual summer Book and Bake Sale on Saturday, August 1st in the library meeting room.
There are bargains galore so it’s time to stock up on your favorite books, DVDs, CDs and more. Whatever your interest, there is something for you at prices too good to miss. Fill a shopping bag for only $5 and we will make it easy by having bags ready for you. Stop by the Bake Sale table for a great selection of homemade pies, cakes, breads, cookies and much more! All items are freshly baked by our talented volunteers so don’t miss out because these treats will sell out fast.

Why this Matters: Every dollar you spend supports library initiatives including the Summer Reading Program, guest speakers, museum passes, and media subscriptions. Your participation helps to keep the Minot-Sleeper Library a welcoming space for our entire community.
